Divisible by Itself and One: Kae Tempest

Product Information

I enjoy their poems the most when they tell a story, more than when they “just” describe a feeling or situation. Divisible by Itself and One is also a book about human form, the body as boundary and how we are read by the world. kae has such a kind and humble writing that digs all of our hidden parts the feelings we reject the face we see in the mirror. 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.

The bestselling LGBTQ+ graphic novel about life, love, and everything that happens in between: this is the fifth volume of the Heartstopper series. Infused with all of their rich lyrical skill and unforgettable imagery, Tempest's bravura collection mines themes of transformation, identity and reaction against conformity with unparalleled insight and verve. As always with poetry, some just resonated with me more than others and I can't exactly pinpoint why.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).
