It is poetry that would sit well on "Later... With Jools Holland".
To be fair he had Sleaford Mods on there, but lots of people seemed to absolutely hate them. Which was great.
I don't pay a lot of attention to poetry but people like Salena Godden and Emily Harrison seem a bit more like it. Less cloying. Less comfortably Radio 4.
Kate Tempest is not the biggest problem we face though. There is always going to be a next poet that hits it big and they will always be terrible. Simon Armitage would be another one.
