New poetry from a fiercely talented, Ted Hughes Award-winning poet.
Kae Tempest's first full-length collection for Picador is an ambitious, multi-voiced work based around the mythical figure of Tiresias. This four-part work follows him through his transformations from child, man, and woman to blind prophet; through this structure, Tempest holds up a mirror to contemporary life in a direct and provocative way rarely associated with poetry.
A vastly popular and accomplished performance poet, Tempest commands a huge and dedicated following on the performance and rap circuit. Brand New Ancients, also available from Picador, won the Ted Hughes Award for New Work in Poetry and has played to packed concert halls on both sides of the Atlantic.
Kritikerstimmen
"Her reworking of the Tiresias myth has all of the form’s virtues . . . a powerful immediacy . . ." ( Belfast Telegraph)
"Her opening poem here is the longest, an updating of the story of Tiresias, and is both politically and emotionally stark, while the rest explore the human passion with a refreshing toughness." ( Sunday Herald)
"Tempest collection feels like a game-changer. Tempest has forged her own voice, unlike anything else in the mainstream poetry world . . ." ( The Independent on Sunday)

Award-winning poet and rapper Kae Tempest's electrifying debut novel takes us into the beating heart of the capital in this multigenerational tale of drugs, desire and belonging.

Young Londoners Becky, Harry and Leon are leaving town in a fourth-hand Ford Cortina with a suitcase full of money.

Geschichte
In a powerful new vision Dr Brené Brown challenges everything we think we know about vulnerability, and dispels the widely accepted myth that it's a weakness. She argues that, in truth, vulnerability is strength and when we shut ourselves off from vulnerability - from revealing our true selves - we distance ourselves from the experiences that bring purpose and meaning to our lives.

Narziß und Goldmund sind Freunde, wie sie unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten: Der eine ein Denker, selbstbeherrscht, rational und prinzipientreu. Der andere ein kindlicher Träumer, Genießer und Sinnenmensch, voller Lebenslust und tiefem Gefühl. Der eine führt ein strenges Leben im Kloster, der andere begibt sich auf Wanderschaft in die Welt. Und doch knüpfen gerade ihre Gegensätzlichkeit und Bewunderung für den jeweils anderen das Band ihrer Freundschaft. In ihren Gesprächen zeigt sich Hesse als ein Maler mit Worten und ein tiefer Kenner der menschlichen Seele.
