Let the Light Pour In

English

By (author): Lemn Sissay

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
A NEW STATESMAN BOOK OF THE YEAR
A SAINSBURY'S MAGAZINE BOOK TO GIFT

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'
