Le nouveau recueil de Kae Tempest renoue avec les motifs puissants de Étreins-toi et Courir sur les cordes, où s’entrelacent amour et quête de soi. Plus introspectif, il explore les ressorts intimes

Kae Tempest is one of the most exciting and innovative performers to have emerged in spoken-word poetry in many years; their dramatic poem Brand New Ancients won the prestigious Ted Hughes Prize for innovation in poetry. Tempests wholly unique blend of street poetry, rap and storytelling combined with the spellbinding delivery of an open-air revivalist has won them legions of followers all over the UK. Tempests remarkable stage presence is wholly audible in this poem, a spoken story written to be told with live music.Brand New Ancients is the tale of two families and their intertwining lives, set against the background of the city and braided with classical myth. Here, Tempest shows how the old myths still live on in our everyday acts of violence, bravery, sacrifice and love and that our lives make tales no less dramatic and powerful than those of the old gods.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2017 MERCURY MUSIC PRIZELet Them Eat Chaos, Kae Tempests new long poem written for live performance and heard on the album release of the same name, is both a powerful sermon and a moving play for voices. Seven neighbours inhabit the same London street, but are all unknown to each other. The clock freezes in the small hours, and, one by one, we see directly into their lives: lives that are damaged, disenfranchised, lonely, broken, addicted, and all, apparently, without hope. Then a great storm breaks over London, and brings them out into the night to face each other - and their last chance to connect. Tempest argues that our alienation from one another has bred a terrible indifference to our own fate, but they counters this with a plea to challenge the forces of greed which have conspired to divide us, and mend the broken home of our own planet while we still have time. Let Them Eat Chaos is a cri de coeur and a call to action, and, both on the page and in Tempests electric performance, one of the most powerful poetic statements of the year.

I want to sing you early songs. Go deeper.I want to take you back where you began,Find the scraps of you you hid in secretAnd bring them back to life beneath my tongue.Divisible by Itself and One is the powerful new collection from our foremost truth-teller Kae Tempest. Ruminative, wise, with a newer, more contemplative and metaphysical note running through, it is a book engaged with the big questions and the emotional states in which we live and create. Some of the poems experiment with form, some are free, and yet all are politically and morally conscious. Divisible by Itself and One is also a book about human form, the body as boundary and how we are read by the world. Taking its bearings - and title - from the prime number, Divisible by Itself and One is concerned, ultimately, with integrity: how to live in honest relationship with oneself and others.Tempest delivers their thoughts gorgeously, rhythmically, but also with clarity and a fierce grace Observer

Hold Your Own, Kae Tempests first full-length collection for Picador is an ambitious, multi-voiced work based around the mythical figure of Tiresias. This four-part work follows him through his transformations from child, man and woman to blind prophet; through this structure, Tempest holds up a mirror to contemporary life in a direct and provocative way rarely associated with poetry.A vastly popular and accomplished performance poet, Tempest commands a huge and dedicated following on the performance and rap circuit. Brand New Ancients, also available from Picador, won the Ted Hughes Award for New Work in Poetry and has played to packed concert halls on both sides of the Atlantic.

Connectar es una lúcida reflexió sobre el poder de la connexió creativa com a antídot contra la inacció i l'estancament. Connexió amb nosaltres mateixos -dissociats sempre entre el nostre jo autentic i el jo del rol i de les necessitats que ens imposa la societat capitalista-, i connexio amb els altres i amb el mon. Fruit dels vint anys d'experiencia de Kae Tempest com a poeta i rapsode, Connectar es un crit de guerra que apel·la a una veritat tan intima com universal. Amb una prosa exquisida, i sota la influencia del Llibre Vermell, de Carl Gustav Jung, Tempest ens parla de la importancia de l'art, la creativitat, la contemplacio i la generositat per viure en un mon mes connectat, mes empatic, mes huma. MESLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLIBRES "Per sota la superficie, estem connectats." "Potent i clement." Ali Smith "Tempest... no tan sols salta fora de la pagina, sino que et salta al coll i t'exigeix que cridis el seu missatge." Marlon James "El llenguatge [de Kae] colpeix com un llamp. Il·lumina i crema." The Guardian

Running Upon The Wires is Kae Tempests first book of free-standing poetry since the acclaimed Hold Your Own. In a beautifully varied series of formal poems, spoken songs, fragments, vignettes and ballads, Tempest charts the heartbreak at the end of one relationship and the joy at the beginning of a new love; but also tells us what happens in between, when the heart is pulled both ways at once.Running Upon The Wires is, in a sense, a departure from their previous work, and unashamedly personal and intimate in its address but will also confirm Tempests role as one of our most important poetic truthtellers: it will be no surprise to readers to discover that shes no less a direct and unflinching observer of matters of the heart than they are of social and political change. Running Upon The Wires is a heartbreaking, moving and joyous book about love, in its endings and in its beginnings.

Tempest has a gift for shattering and transcending convention. New York TimesPhiloctetes lives in a cave on a desolate island: the wartime hero is now a wounded outcast. Stranded for ten years, he sees a chance of escape when a young soldier appears with tales of Philoctetes past glories. But with hope comes suspicion and, as an old enemy emerges, he is faced with an even greater temptation: revenge.Kae Tempest is now widely acknowledged as a revolutionary force in contemporary British poetry, music and drama; they continue to expand the range of their work with a new version of Sophocles Philoctetes in a bold new translation. Like Brand New Ancients before it, Paradise shows Tempests gift for lending the old tales an immediate contemporary relevance and will find this timeless story a wide new audience.
