'Sissay writes of love, hate, politics and everyday trivia with an accessible, compelling and rather unusual honesty. A rough diamond of a book' The Big Issue
Lemn Sissay brings together a stunning new collection, Morning Breaks in the Elevator. In Sissay's work, we witness declamation being honed and brought to fine art, establishing his reputation as one of the UK's foremost poets as he ably moves from loud protest through to quiet reflection.

always hard-hitting, Morning Breaks demands that you tune in to this
frequency
