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 night'How do you wake up and shine?''I keep it simple,' said light'One day at a time'
