THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERFor 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 nightHow do you wake up and shine?I keep it simple, said lightOne day at a time
