From the publisher
Hold Your Own, Kae Tempest's first full-length poetry 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.
