Publisher's Summary

Running Upon the Wires is Kae Tempest’s first audiobook of free-standing poetry since the acclaimed Hold Your Own. In a beautifully varied series of formal poems, spoken songs, fragments, vignettes and ballads, Tempest charts the heartbreak at the end of one relationship and the joy at the beginning of a new love but also tells us what happens in between, when the heart is pulled both ways at once.

Running Upon the Wires is, in a sense, a departure from her previous work and unashamedly personal and intimate in its address - but will also confirm Tempest’s role as one of our most important poetic truth tellers: it will be no surprise to listeners to discover that she’s no less a direct and unflinching observer of matters of the heart than she is of social and political change. 

Running Upon the Wires is a heartbreaking, moving and joyous audiobook about love in its endings and in its beginnings.
