A new book of poetry by one of our foremost living poets is enough to activate any taste buds. When that poet is Lemn Sissay, and he is appearing in person to tell us about his life and his poetry, it is a rare privilege and opportunity.

An international prize-winning writer, Lemn Sissay reads from his bestseller My Name is Why, as well as poems from his new collection Let the Light Pour In.

Lemn Sissay OBE was the official poet of the 2012 London Olympics and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature in 2022.

Lemn Sissay: Let the Light Pour In is presented by Berwick Literary Festival and The Maltings and also features an interview, Q&A and post-show book signing.
