Hold Your Own by Kae Tempest
Hold Your Own arises from the tale of the mythical prophet Tiresias. Though he was born and died a man, he also spent years as a woman. Though he was blind, he saw what others couldn't. Divining inspiration from this story—and her own— Kate Tempest creates a poem sequence of mesmeric and visceral power, weaving together classical myth, lover's confession, and humanist sermon in language immediate and pulsating. From the writer the New York Times calls a poet of "hypnotically persuasive vision," this collection constitutes an ambitious leap and a bold declaration of talent.
