Description
Lemn Sissay's poems are laid into the streets of downtown Manchester, feature on the side of a public house in the same city and have been emblazoned on a central London bus route.
He has been published in press as diverse as the Times Literary Supplement and The Independent to The Face and Dazed and Confused. He has been commissioned to write poetry, documentaries and plays for Radio1 and Radio4, as well as being involved in television in the roles of writing, performing and presenting.
He is published in over sixty books and features on the Leftfield album Leftism.
Rebel Without Applause is the stunning debut collection that started it all for Lemn Sissay.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Critics hail Sissay as a 'lyrical genius' whose poems are 'the songs of the street, declamatory, imaginative, hard-hitting' (Independent on Sunday). His style is striking and poignant, with highlights like the eleven-word gem 'Love Poem' (Buzz). Reviews praise the collection as 'fierce, funny, serious, satirical, streetwise and tender' (The Big Issue) and note his impact across the country (The Voice).
