"you know it used to keep me up at night
the lack of you"
"our fire would roar with great authority
and light up the whole sorry place"

each pit in the scale of your silence"

Kate Tempest is one of my favourite contemporary poets (and Hold Your Own one of my favourite poetry books). Thus my expectations were high. In the past Tempest took Greek myths, current political affairs and close observations of people to spin gripping tales. Running Upon The Wires is more inward orientated and personal. Each poem can be read separately but taken together they tell a story of Kate ending and grieving a relationship with one woman and slowly falling for another one, navigating this new relationship. But though the scope is quite different from earlier works, this poetry collection is great as well. Tempest's artful language makes it a beautiful, timely, at times humorous, and ultimately happy love story.

The candlelight is small and strange
My face is in the windowpane
Outside the trees are wind-sung poems
The sky's a wound that shows the bone

One star, for the number of poems in this collection that didn’t make me want to barf.
