About the show

Every morning for ten years, Lemn Sissay has written four lines and shared them on his socials with no explanation and no title. After catching the public’s attention, the poems have been transformed into murals, quoted in books, made into songs and even tattoos. He chose the best of them for Let the Light Pour In, which became an instant Sunday Times bestseller — and now a live show.

With live readings from his books, Lemn unravels some of the original stories behind the poems and how they have been used in people’s lives, and his own. Expect an evening full of truth, humour and hope, as he lets us into his morning poetry practice. As Fearne Cotton put it: “I am not sure I’ve read a more beautiful poetry book.”
