On Connection (Faber Social)

Staggering talent Kae Tempest's first work of non-fiction: a meditation on the power of creative connection

'Powerful and merciful.' Ali Smith

'Tempest . . . doesn't just leap off the page, but leaps into your throat and demands to be shouted all the way out.' Marlon James

'[Kae's] language hits like lightning. It illuminates and it burns.' Guardian

Beneath the surface we are all connected . . .

This is a meditation on the power of creative connection. Drawing on twenty years' experience as a writer and performer, Kae Tempest explores how and why creativity - however we choose to practise it - can cultivate greater self-awareness and help us establish a deeper relationship to ourselves and the world.

Honest, tender and written with piercing clarity, On Connection is a call to arms that speaks to a universal yet intimate truth.
