Kae Tempest is one of the most exciting and innovative artists to have emerged in the art of spoken word poetry in recent years. Their dramatic poem Brand New Ancients won the Ted Hughes Award for innovation in poetry. The unique combination of street poetry, rap, and storytelling, combined with the mesmerizing depiction of a reconstructed landscape, has won legions of fans all over the UK. Tempest's impressive stage presence is fully captured in this poem, a recitation written to be performed with live music. Brand New Ancients is the story of two families and their interactions, set against the backdrop of the city and interwoven with classical myths. Here, Tempest shows how old myths still live within our everyday acts of violence, bravery, sacrifice, and love—and that our lives tell stories just as dramatic and powerful as those of the old gods.
