Divisible by Itself and One: Kae Tempest

Product Information

The long-awaited second instalment in Samantha Shannon's Sunday Times and New York Times-bestselling series Tunuva Melim is a sister of the Priory. 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. Featuring a vibrant rainbow design, and our super-sized Q logo, you won't find a more stylish way to make a statement. A new poetry collection from Britain's foremost truth-teller, in Divisible by Itself and One Kae Tempest masterfully steers a path between their more public-facing performance and dramatic work and the contemplative voice that came to the fore in Running Upon the Wires. The abstractness and symbolism in many instances obscures the message and meaning of the poem despite the power of the language used by the poet.

It’s poems about human relations, and the human condition are underlain and, at times, filled with anger. For fifty years, she has trained to slay wyrms - but none have appeared since the Nameless One, and the younger generation. Even in cases where the poem itself didn't touch me as much as others, it still had a melodic flow that made it very enjoyable to read.I enjoy their poems the most when they tell a story, more than when they “just” describe a feeling or situation. I think my favorites were "Mountain road at midnight, Crete" and "The loop", although there were quite a few that made me underline lines like crazy and subsequently lead me to stare at my bedroom ceiling for half an hour (which is my preferred outcome for reading poetry). kae has such a kind and humble writing that digs all of our hidden parts the feelings we reject the face we see in the mirror. There were some great and lovely poems in this collection and Tempest's rhythm and feeling for language is amazing.

They have published plays, poems, a novel, a book-length essay, released albums and toured extensively, selling out shows from Reykjavik to Rio de Janeiro. 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. Stories of transformation hold a central place in Tempest's work, their best to date; here, the poet considers the changes that are sometimes required to be oneself. They received Mercury Music Prize nominations for both of the albums Everybody Down and Let Them Eat Chaos , and two Ivor Novello nominations for their song-writing on The Book of Traps and Lessons . The one thing that I find impressive about all of Kae Tempest's work is the nice rhythm that carries through their poetry.

I think I will read whatever Kae Tempest will publish, even though the poems in this collection didn’t speak to me as much as their previous work.

Sehr spannend ist es dabei nachzuvollziehen, wie sich im Detail beim Übersetzen entschieden wurde, bestimmte Ausdrucksweisen umzusetzen.Divisible by Itself and One is the powerful new collection from our foremost truth-teller Kae Tempest. There were moments of Tempest genius in here but this collection didn't seem to have the same urgency and direction as the likes of Hold Your Own or Let them Eat Chaos. The million copy bestseller, A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara, is an immensely powerful and heartbreaking novel of brotherly love and.
