Running Upon The Wires is Kate 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 her 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 she is 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.
