Books like Brand new ancients by Kate Tempest


Brand New Ancients captures the voices of two half‑brothers, Thomas and Clive, whose lives unfold in adjoining homes in Southeast London. Written for oral performance, the book fuses poetry, rap and humanist sermon, moving from tenderness to fierce introspection. Tempest weaves the ordinary— the mundane streets, the quiet conversations of Jane and Kevin, the turbulent dynamics of Mary and Brian—into a tapestry of myth, showing how personal choices echo the timeless dramas of history and legend. The work invites readers to recognize the gods within themselves and the human stories that bind us all.
