One day at a time

Went along to hear Lemn Sissay last night; he was speaking at another of the marvelous Portobello Bookshop events ...

... he read some poetry, which was followed by a conversation with Jackie Kay - all of which made for a most entertaining evening :-)

Here's the opening 'quatrain ' from his recently published (2023) collection, which I managed to get a signed-copy of:

---

'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'

Lemn Sissay (1967 - )
