From School Library Journal
A winner of the Ted Hughes Award and a praised creator of spoken-word performances, Tempest has written a series of poems inspired by the myth of Tiresias. When Zeus and his wife, Hera, fought about who enjoyed sex the most—men or women—Tiresias, who had been both, was summoned and lost his sight in the tumult. The slim book is divided into four sections: "Childhood," "Womanhood," "Manhood," and "Blind Prophet." The long opening poem tells the story of Tiresias, 15, walking through woods and seeing two copulating snakes. He strikes them with a stick and falls, waking up female. Tiresias adjusts to the switch, finds love, but changes back to a man after several years. After he is blinded, he becomes a prophet. "Childhood" has several lively poems that teens should especially enjoy. The descriptions in "School" will ring true for many young people: "We wander into school, happy children;/kind and bright and interested in things./We don't yet know the horrors of the building./The hatred it will teach. The boredom it will bring." In the "Womanhood" poems, the woman Tiresias is described: "The boy in her is strong some days/And calls out for a girl to touch." "Manhood" also continues the mythic tale; the angry poems in the final section, "Blind Prophet," may suit the mood of some young adults. VERDICT A strong work that will introduce teens to a myth and to an examination of sexuality.—Karlan Sick, Library Consultant, New York City

Review

“One of the brightest British talents around. Her spoken-word performances have the metre and craft of traditional poetry, the kinetic agitation of hip-hop and the intimacy of a whispered heart-to-heart . . . drawing on ancient mythology and sermonic cadence to tell stories of the everyday.” ―The Guardian

“Gorgeous streams of words . . . Image after image that sears itself into your consciousness . . . Ms. Tempest stitches together words with such animate grace that language acquires an almost tactile quality, and the drama she unfolds . . . soars to operatic dimensions.” ―Christopher Isherwood, New York Times on Brand New Ancients

Her solo record, Everybody Down -- a concept album featuring characters who will return in her debut novel, The Bricks That Build the Houses (Bloomsbury, Winter 16) -- is shortlisted for the 2014 Mercury Prize. She is a two-time winner of the poetry slam at the Nu Yorican Poetry Cafe, and has received poetry commissions from the Royal Shakespeare Company and the BBC. Her narrative poem Brand New Ancients, conceived as a performance piece, won the Ted Hughes Award in 2012, and will be published alongside Hold Your Own, her first collection.
