Today's short features the performance poet/rapper, novelist*, and playwright Kate Tempest, who also is the first person under 40 to receive the Ted Hughes Award for innovation in poetry (2013). The short demonstrates why she's become a sensation.
Read Sam Wolfson's article in The Guardian, "Kate Tempest: The Performance Poet Who Can't Be Ignored".

* Tempest's debut novel is The Bricks that Built the Houses. (See Waterstones for a signed limited edition of the 2016 book.) Her full-length poetry collection Hold You Own (Picador) was published in 2014.
