Running Upon The Wires is Kae Tempest's 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 Tempest's role as one of our
most important poetic truth-tellers: it will be no surprise to
readers to discover that she's 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.
