Poetry reborn for Friday nightBy Mike HoppingPerformance poetry has been around for decades but Kate Tempest has elevated it. I first heard her perform Let Them Eat Chaos online. It was intensely powerful but, to my American ears, the South London accent was a bit of a struggle without subtitles. (The CD version is easier to comprehend.) In print, without the accent cue, the societal rot her working-class vignettes attack applies as much to any American city as to London. I'm reminded of Woody Guthrie but, together with her earlier book-length Hold Your Own, she puts me more in mind of a young, streetwise, T. S. Eliot. With Let them Eat Chaos we have what amounts to her "Wasteland." Fingers crossed that her art continues to grow and open outward. The way things are going, in ten years we'll be overdue for a 21st century "Four Quartets."1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Kate is awesomeBy john t mccookCuts like a truth knife1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Like watching a familiar building burningBy Glynn Youngldquo;Let Them Eat Chaosrdquo; by British poet Kate Tempest includes a note at the beginning: ldquo;This poem was written to be read aloud.rdquo; And you think, ldquo;Well, arenrsquo;t most poems meant to be read aloud?rdquo; Perhaps, but Tempest is making at least three points with that statement.First, reading a poem aloud is not a given; most poems are read silently today, as opposed to being read aloud. Reading aloud assumes (or presumes) an audience.Second, this single collection-length poem was written specifically with the idea of being read aloud.And third, reading aloud is a performance, which is exactly what you would expect from a poet is also a playwright, and also a recorder of CDs (including rap). In fact, ldquo;Let Them Eat Chaosrdquo; is paired with an audio CD of the same name.Tempest doesnrsquo;t blur the lines between artistic forms; she blows them up.ldquo;Let Them Eat Chaosrdquo; is a single long poem about seven Londoners living on the same street. They donrsquo;t know each other; their lives never intersect. They have much in common, but they will never know that. Instead, they move about their atomized lives, unaware of each other, and often unaware about what matters most in their lives.Tempest presents contemporary life in London as almost random, and often pointless.Excerpt from ldquo;Let Them Eat Chaosrdquo;At any given moment in the middle of a citytherersquo;s a million epiphanies occurring,in the blurring of the world beyond the curtainand the world within the personTherersquo;s a quivering.The litter in the alleyway is singing.People meet by chance, fall in love, drift apart again.Underage drinkers walk the park and watch the dark descend.The workers watch the clocks, fiddle with their Parker pensWhile the grandmothers haggle with the market men.Here, where the kids play and laugh until the fall apart,itrsquo;s kiss-chase and dancingtill itrsquo;s mistakes and darkened rooms.Too fast too soontoo slow too longWe move around all daybut canrsquo;tmoveonIs anybody else awake?Will it ever be day again?Tempest is the author of two plays, ldquo;Wastedrdquo; (2013) and ldquo;Hopelessly Devoterdquo; (2014); two poetry collections, ldquo;Hold Your Ownrdquo; (2015) and ldquo;Let Them Eat Chaos;rdquo; and a novel, ldquo;The Bricks That Built the Housesrdquo; (2016). She won the Poetry Societyrsquo;s Ted Hughes Award for innovation in poetry for 2012. The award was given for her play, ldquo;Brand New Ancientsrdquo; which the award judges called ldquo;a poem standing up.rdquo;Always jarring, without a fixed point except for a rather drifting aimlessness, ldquo;Let Them Eat Chaosrdquo; blends poetry and performance into something that is simultaneously disconcerting and fascinating. Itrsquo;s like watching a familiar building burning. Kate Tempest's powerful new narrative poem--set to music on her album of the same title, shortlisted for the Mercury Music Prize--illuminates the lives of a single city street, creating an electric, humming human symphonyLet Them Eat Chaos, Kate Tempest's new long poem written for live performance and heard on the album release of the same name, is both a powerful sermon and a moving play for voices. Seven neighbors inhabit the same London street, but are all unknown to each other. The clock freezes in the small hours, and one by one we see directly into their lives: lives that are damaged, disenfranchised, lonely, broken, addicted, and all, apparently, without hope. Then a great storm breaks over London, and brings them out into the night to face each other--and their own last chance to connect. Tempest argues that our alienation from one another has bred a terrible indifference to our own fate, but she counters this with a plea to challenge the forces of greed which have conspired to divide us, and mend the broken home of our own planet while we still have time. Let Them Eat Chaos is a cri de coelig;ur and a call to action, and, both on the page and in Tempest's electric performance, one of the most powerful poetic statements of the year. "This feels a lot like Patti Smith here, in massive wordplay. The sorrows, loss, and rage are the same; and you have to admire the inner beauty coming to surface in serious ways; and more than that, applaud a young artist on a marvelous occasion for driving a dream to the fullest extent just for the flight of it." - Washington of Books"Ms. Tempest has an ability to write about big, metaphysical subjects in the most vernacular language." - Michiko Kakutani, New York Times"Capture[s] a yearning for something better that resonates in this early 21st-century political climate." - Publishers Weekly"Tempest is brilliant at painting pictures with words, drawing compelling characters that pull you into their lives." - Jay Gabler, "The Current", MPR"Kate Tempest's skill as a wordsmith will continue to win her awards and critical praise, but it's her passion as a performer that can carry her to a larger audience . There are moments in musical history when you can practically feel culture forces coalescing around a voice and a talent on the cusp of a massive breakthrough . If [Tempest] continues operating at the stratospheric level on display these last few weeks, she should probably get used to it." - Forbes.comAbout the AuthorKate Tempest grew up in southeast London, where she still lives. She has gained acclaim as a poet, playwright, rapper, and recording artist. Let Them Eat Chaos and Everybody Down were both shortlisted for the Mercury Prize. Her books of poetry include Brand New Ancients, a long poem conceived as a performance piece, which won the Ted Hughes Award for Poetry in 2012, and the collection Hold Your Own, and she was selected as one of this decadersquo;s Next Generation Poets by the Poetry Book Society in 2014. She is also the author of a novel, The Bricks that Built the Houses.

  • Representations of Individualism in Kate Tempest's Brand New
    Representations of Individualism in Kate Tempest’s Brand New Ancients and Let Them Eat Chaos Damion Dietz First Supervisor: Usha Wilbers Second Supervisor: Odin Dekkers 16 June 2019 ENGELSE TAAL EN CULTUUR U. Wilbers Representations of Individualism in Kate Tempest’s “Brand New Ancients” and “Let Them Eat Chaos” BA Thesis English Language and Culture 16 June 2019 The work submitted here is the sole responsibility of the undersigned, who has neither committed plagiarism nor colluded in its production. ………………………….. Damion Dietz S4220099 Abstract This study provides an analysis of representations of individualism in Kate Tempest’s Brand New Ancients and Let Them Eat Chaos, charting Tempest’s criticism on contemporary western society. Little former academic research has been conducted into the poetry of Kate Tempest. Three forms of individualism are distinguished in the theoretical framework, neoliberal individualism, humanistic individualism, and institutionalised individualism. Representations of individualism are distilled from Tempest poetry through close reading, and linked to the definitions of individualism as described in the theoretical framework. Tempest depicts neoliberal individualism as a corruptive force in both poems, and argues this view on the individual is the cause of societal problems such as climate change, financial inequality, isolation, and criminality. In Let Them Eat Chaos institutionalised individualism and individualisation are presented as the result of neoliberal individualism, leading to the perceived death of humanistic individualism. This last form of individualism is also proposed as a new view on the individual in both poems, able to dissolve a variety of social problems. Together the representations of individualism seem to function as a warning on the societal effects of the current view on the individual in contemporary western society as perceived by Tempest.

Kate Calvert est née le 22 décembre 1985 à Brockley, au sud-est de Londres. Sa mère est enseignante, son père travaille dans le bâtiment avant de prendre des cours du soir et de devenir avocat. " Je garde en moi ce truc inné qu'il faut travailler dur". Cadette de cinq enfants, elle grandit au sein d'une famille modeste et bruyante. La maison est située "dans un quartier pourri de la ville, mais dans une agréable maison où il y avait toujours de quoi manger". Kate s'ennuie à l'école qu'elle quitte à quatorze ans. Elle décrit ces années comme une période d'anxiété. Une rencontre scolaire, avec un professeur d'Anglais, Mr Bradshaw, représente cependant un tournant : il partage avec la jeune fille son goût pour la littérature et l'encourage à écrire. Son amour de la langue et sa colère contre les politiques la conduisent vers le hip-hop (Wu-Tang Clan) et la poésie (Yeats, Blake). Employée chez un disquaire, elle participe à des joutes de slam le vendredi soir. "Une libération extatique de mon adolescence angoissée". C'est à seize ans qu'elle se produit en concert pour la première fois, dans Carnaby Street, et remporte un tournoi de slam sous le nom d'"Excentral Tempest".
