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?’

The sounds and rhythm of words is joyous. The privilege of hearing Lem Sissay reading them himself makes it more sublime. The title of the book reflects its content. Just beautiful.

What a treasure this is! I have never been much of a poetry reader, but I heard Lemn on the radio at the weekend and was captured by one of his poems. I listened to this book and I think the poems are just beautiful. And it adds to the experience when the poet reads them himself. It certainly pours the light into my day. I'll get the paper book as well to appreciate the poems at a slower pace. Thank you for this treasure trove Lemn!

A Treasure!

Lovely narration by the poet. Hits differently after a breakup
layered and thoughtful in meaning and word beautifully visualising for the minds eye and easy on the ears too

Really enjoyable, just a shame it doesn’t tell you the name of the poems before he reads them.

Really uplifting listen
