Under the Influence - Lemn Sissay under the influence of the Liverpool Poets

Work:: Under the Influence (S0125200458)

The highly popular Under the Influence series, where one poet looks at the influence another poet has had on their work.

Production:: Lemn Sissay under the influence of the Liverpool Poets (T779199008)

Lemn Sissay was born in 1967, the year The Mersey Sound was first published, but he wasn't given a copy until 15 years later when his head teacher spotted his burgeoning talent. Within its pages Lemn found the confirmation he had been looking for, that poetry should be for the people, by the people. It is a beat he has worked to ever since.
