Dr Sabina Brennan speaks to the truly inspirational poet Lemn Sissay who’s moving memoir ‘I know my name is why’ chronicles his time in care from when he was taken from his young Ethopian mother and placed with white foster parents in Wigan who returned him to the care system after 12 years like faulty goods returned to a manufacturer. When you talk to Lemn you can't but see that child in his eyes.
