Lemn Sissay is one of Britain’s most loved poets, and the Chancellor of Manchester University. In this podcast, recorded live at the 2018 Byron Writers Festival, Lemn discusses his childhood spent in foster care and in a children's home, and his miraculous rise to university chancellor. With passion and fury, Lemn talks about the injustices felt by many single mothers and their children as a result of forced adoptions in Britain during the twentieth century.
