Staggering talent Kae Tempest's first work of non-fiction: a meditation on the power of creative connection. Beneath the surface we are all connected . . . This is a meditation on the power of creative connection.

Reviews
"Tempest ... doesn't just leap off the page, but leaps into your throat and demands to be shouted all the way
out." --Marlon James
"A precious small book with a huge punch right at the heart of the problems of today."-- Cosey Fanni Tutti
"The powerful 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
"A lyrical, tender linguistic balm." -- Kirkus
"Elegant and well-turned. This thoughtful meditation will resonate with anyone looking for new ways to engage with their creativity." -- Publishers Weekly "Tempest's prose is crisp and thoughtful, and they are as willing to own up to their own mistakes and flaws as they are eager to insist upon the importance of the arts as a resource for cultivating greater self-awareness." -- New Statesman "On Connection is medicine for these wounded times." -- Max Porter "An authentically soothing, powerful, thought-provoker." -- Matt Haig
