Summary

*Read by the author*
Beneath the surface we are all connected . . .
'An authentically soothing, powerful, thought-provoker.'
MATT HAIG
' On Connection is medicine for these wounded times.'
MAX PORTER
' On Connection came to me when I needed it most, and reminded me that the links we have to places, people, words, ourselves, are what keep us alive.'
CANDICE CARTY-WILLIAMS

This is a book about connection. About how immersing ourselves in creativity can help us cultivate greater self-awareness and bring us closer to each other.
Drawing on two decades of experience as a writer and performer, Kae Tempest champions the role of creativity - in whatever form we choose to practice it - as an act of love, helping us establish a deeper relationship to our true selves, and to others and the world we live in.
Honest, hopeful and written with piercing clarity, On Connection is an inspiring personal meditation that will transform the way you see the world.
'Persuasive and profound.' OBSERVER
'Tempest's prose is crisp and thoughtful.' NEW STATESMAN

A treasure trove

Kae’s short but challenging insight’s into a performer’s life contains some true insights into something that I suspect we all crave in these Covid controlled days that we find ourselves, connectivity. In Kae’s experiences we can find clues on how we might find connections in our lives. Well worth listening to.

Outstanding

Kae Tempest owns new territory here. Stunningly put together.
If only there were more writings this real.
A tremendous gift to all who care and to all who will be blessed via those who care and don’t yet know the full potential of connection. This book is a game changer; life bringing, enriching, energy driven, force of nature, made with 24carat solid gold focus. This is now my favourite book, ever!

An essential for any creative

I loved this. I find Kae Tempest so inspiring at most of times but this is exceptional and insightful, not to their process but their philosophy of working. I listened to this while painting, and found my own work behind braver and clearer. Only because of the vulnerability in Tempest's writing and delivery challenges me to.

A Whirlwind of Wisdom

An optimistic stream of heartfelt and compassionate thoughts on how connection between people is possible. Steeped in her intense experience of life as a creator and performer; someone who knows what it is to give and share of yourself. Her writing is also grounded by broad reading and references to many other creative people who have walked the same path.

Sublime

Kae goes from strength to strength .. her work gets deeper, wiser, and at the same time more passionate. This book will join the small and carefully curated collection of books I am putting away as a gift for my granddaughter when she is old enough to be forging her own way through the world. These are words to navigate by.
