I think my favorites were "Mountain road at midnight, Crete" and "The loop", although there were quite a few that made me underline lines like crazy and subsequently lead me to stare at my bedroom ceiling for half an hour (which is my preferred outcome for reading poetry). A new poetry collection from Britain's foremost truth-teller, in Divisible by Itself and One Kae Tempest masterfully steers a path between their more public-facing performance and dramatic work and the contemplative voice that came to the fore in Running Upon the Wires. I always feel galvanised, inspired and in awe after seeing them totally immersed in their craft and passion. Divisible by Itself and One is also a book about human form, the body as boundary and how we are read by the world.

Groaning in the empty garden in a moment that lasted till now, the almighty swore they'd never live again. Kae Tempest has changed their pronouns since I read their last collection, which I massively enjoyed.

The bestselling LGBTQ+ graphic novel about life, love, and everything that happens in between: this is the fifth volume of the Heartstopper series. Questions of integrity - hence the prime number of the title - are addressed in direct, affecting terms: how can we be true to ourselves while under constant pressure to conform? The abstractness and symbolism in many instances obscures the message and meaning of the poem despite the power of the language used by the poet.

Kae Tempest (pronouns: they/them) started out when they were 16, rapping at strangers on night buses and pestering MCs to let them on the mic at raves. It is more powerful than a surrender and it becomes celebratory but doesn't shy away from pain and anger and the rawness of the unshaping process. Their debut novel, "The Bricks That Built The Houses", sold in a highly competitive auction to Bloomsbury and was published in territories including the UK, US, France, Holland and Brazil in Spring 2015. Questions of integrity – hence the prime number of the title – are addressed in direct, affecting terms: how can we be true to ourselves while under constant pressure to conform?Stories of transformation hold a central place in Tempest's work, their best to date; here, the poet considers the changes that are sometimes required to be oneself.

For fifty years, she has trained to slay wyrms - but none have appeared since the Nameless One, and the younger generation. Taking its bearings – and title – from the prime number, Divisible by Itself and One is concerned, ultimately, with integrity: how to live in honest relationship with oneself and others. I read Kae Tempest 's novel The Bricks That Built the Houses a while ago and it is still up there with my favourites. I enjoy their poems the most when they tell a story, more than when they “just” describe a feeling or situation.

Brand New Ancients", their self-performed epic poem to a live score, won the Ted Hughes Award 2012 and the Herald Angel at Edinburgh Fringe. I think I will read whatever Kae Tempest will publish, even though the poems in this collection didn’t speak to me as much as their previous work. There were moments of Tempest genius in here but this collection didn't seem to have the same urgency and direction as the likes of Hold Your Own or Let them Eat Chaos.
