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.

A small town romance featuring a klutzy romance novelist running from her past and the sexy sheriff who's like a human lie detector.
"I want to be upfront with you. No surprises, no secrets. I want you, Eva. And I think you might be it for me."
Romance novelist Eva Merrill is a hot mess running from her past. She doesn't mind telling a fib or two to protect her secrets and her family. It's too bad that she moved to the nosiest small town in the world with Sheriff Sexy – the tall, well-built, human lie detector. He's showing way too much interest in her and treating every conversation like it's an interrogation.
Maybe that's because she accidentally showed him her boobs in the middle of downtown Blue Moon. Or maybe it's because he thinks she's about to commit a crime. It's definitely not that he's attracted to her. That only happens in her novels.
Donovan Cardona loves his nice, quiet hometown, and he's got some pretty strong feelings when it comes to a certain klutzy redhead, too. But his gut says she's hiding something. Just when he starts to peel back those layers to get to the naked truth, the entire town loses its collective mind – and its inhibitions.
Can he save the girl from her past and the town from itself?
Lucy Score brings to life the "nosiest small town in upstate New York" in this charming and compelling romantic comedy – the fifth in a series of romcom romps through the small but lively town of Blue Moon Bend.
