Something a little different… a little bit poetry, a little bit music… I was introduced to Kate Tempest during a lecture this week on poetry slams and music poetry… enlightening and inspiring…
Kate Tempest is an English spoken word performer, poet, recording artist, novelist and playwright. In 2013, she won the Ted Hughes Award for her work Brand New Ancients.[2] She was named a Next Generation Poet by the Poetry Book Society,[3] a once-a-decade accolade.

She doesn’t pull any punched and I love that.
