Mr B's review

For the past ten years Lemn Sissay has composed a poem each day as dawn breaks. Let the Light Pour In works the best of these into a collection of daily affirmations that radiate hope and wonder in times of darkness. We see Sissay battle his personal demons throughout, wrestling with the weight of the world in pursuit of a defiant and radical joy. A perfect uplifting read from one of the nation’s favourite poets.

For the past decade, Lemn Sissay has composed a short poem as dawn breaks each morning. Life-affirming, witty and full of wonder, these poems chronicle his own battle with the dark and are fuelled by resilience and defiant joy. Let the Light Pour In is a collection of the best of these poems, and a book celebrating this morning practice.

‘How do you do it?’ said night
‘How do you wake up and shine?’
