Let the Light Pour In
An uplifting poetry collection from the number one bestselling author of My Name Is Why, Lemn Sissay OBE
THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
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?'
'I keep it simple,' said light
'One day at a time'
