THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 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?'' ''I keep it simple,'' said light ''One day at a time''
