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. Tempest's 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. Tempest's 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.
