I was given your name today, to look you up, from a social worker, myself & my wife are looking into fostering for the first time, I also write poetry & I was inspired to write a new poem from your video :)
LEMN SISSAY IS THE BEST POET IN THE WORLD. I KNOW, HE IS AN AMAZING INDIVIDUAL. I AM PROUD OF HIM AND HIS WORK.
This man is possibly the best poet alive.
Wow don't know how I come across this but thank you. Lemn Sissay has strengthen my thoughts on foster care, 'family' and gave Super Heros a whole different meaning! Thank you.

Lemn means why in Amharic. guess he's always asking why?

'album' is 'white' in Latin. I think calling it The White Album was a clever play on words
