This is only the beginning of his journey... Weaving elements of classical myth, autobiography and social commentary, Tempest uses the story of the gender-switching, clairvoyant Tiresias to create four sequences of poems : \"childhood\", \"manhood\", \"womanhood\"' and \"blind profit\". The result is a rhythmically hypnotic tour de force - and a hugely ambitious leap forward for one of the UK's most talented and compelling young writers.

Kate Tempest, winner of the Ted Hughes Prize for Brand New Ancients and widely regarded as the UK's leading spoken word poet, has produced a new poem-sequence of electrifying power. Based on the myth of the blind prophet Tiresias, Hold Your Own is a riveting tale of youth and experience, sex and love, wealth and poverty, community and alienation. Walking in the forest one morning, a young man disturbs two copulating snakes - and is punished by the goddess Hera, who turns him into a woman. This is only the beginning of his journey... Weaving elements of classical myth, autobiography and social commentary, Tempest uses the story of the gender-switching, clairvoyant Tiresias to create four sequences of poems : "childhood", "manhood", "womanhood"' and "blind profit". The result is a rhythmically hypnotic tour de force - and a hugely ambitious leap forward for one of the UK's most talented and compelling young writers.

Based on the Greek myth of Tiresias, this poetry collection brilliantly blends the story of the blind prophet with Kate Tempest's own experience. Divided into four parts (Childhood / womanhood / manhood / blind profit) echoing those of Tiresias' life, Tempest explores gender, love, sex, stereotype.
The result is beautiful, powerful, rythmical. You'll laugh, you'll cry. You'll feel.
