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.

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.
