This book is beautiful, it’s my first peace by kae and it’s made me fall in love
The repetitions and the links to current day society was beautifully done

"We are still godly/ that's what makes us so monstrous."

“This book was intended to be read aloud.”

Read it aloud. The only true experience of this poem happens when the poem takes oral form. Beautiful and forceful, Tempest displays some of her finest oral work in Brand New Ancients.
