Welcome

Hi. It's February and snow's falling at near record levels here in London. From 1st of this month until 14th I'll be at Hammersmith Lyric Theatre in a show called Why I Don't Hate White People. Come along if you can.

If you can't be there then you can see me on channel fours three minute wonders on Feb 9th at 7.55pm. From 16th to 22nd I'll be in Canada at The Cultural Olympiad Live at Vancouver Writers and Readers Festival.

My new book Listener is out now if you click on the picture to the left it takes you to Amazon where you can read some of it.Please click on Readings on the right for appearances. Keep a watch on the  BLOG for offline news online or on facebook 

Event enquiries to agent Ruth Hay For projects and all media enquiries email Gill Lloyd at Artsadmin. Click here.  Bizarre fact:  My birth name is  an original. If you google “Lemn Sissay” the only responses will be about myself.

The greatest news of the year so far is that I have been offered an Honorary Doctor of Letters by The University of Huddersfield.
