Event information

An uplifting poetry collection from the number one bestselling poet, Lemn Sissay OBE

‘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.’

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 darkness and are fuelled with resilience and defiant joy. ‘Let the Light Pour In’ is a collection of the best of these poems, and a book celebrating his morning practice.

This is a new collection from Lemn Sissay - one of the best and most beloved British poets of our time – and his first book for adults since number one bestselling ‘My Name is Why.’

His verse has appeared widely across Radio 4, BBC TV and broadsheet media. A number of these morning poems appear on streets and buildings across the UK.

‘Let The Light Pour In’ is a true celebration of Lemn Sissay’s decade-long morning practice; an ode to morning rituals and carving out space each day for reflection and creativity. 

This event starts at 8pm until 9pm. The doors open 30 minutes before the start time.
