BBC Contains Strong Language Lemn Sissay

Let the Light Pour In

Friday 22 September 2023

This event has passed.

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. Come and hear Lemn read his poems, followed by an audience Q&A session.

Part of Contains Strong Language 2023.
In association with BBC Audio and Arts Council England.
