Synopsis:

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

Drawing on twenty years' experience as a writer and performer, award-winning poet, rapper and storyteller 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.

Personal, hopeful and written with piercing clarity, On Connection is a meditation on creative connection and call to arms that speaks to a universal yet intimate truth.

'Persuasive and profound.' OBSERVER
'Tempest's prose is crisp and thoughtful.' NEW STATESMAN
