Tight Bindings - Sarah Temporal

Praise for Tight Bindings:

Sonically brilliant, tender, and gutsy, Sarah's poems are born of razor-sharp social awareness. - Esther Ottaway, poet

Temporal's poems rewrite the fairy tales with a deft sleight of hand. Under it all, rocklike, she conjures vibrant journeys, the magic potion of memory, bodies in love and the inexplicable impetus to carry on. - Kerry Shying, poet.

Tight Bindings may be the most complete and organic interpretation of femininity I've ever encountered, and it will guide me for years to come. It reads like a love letter to all of us who have ever been daughters, and presents a powerful re-integration of those experiences outside the confines of gendered narratives. - Es Foong, poet.
