Summary

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. Drawing on 20 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.

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.

Raw

I am a huge fan of Jae. Their honesty of their experience makes for an authentic connection everytime I listen to them. They're contribution to this world is like fresh air for the soul. As a creative person myself, I could relate to this fully and learned further insight into some details I had previously overlooked, or never before considered. A wonderfully tender exploration of humanity and what it means to be connected during these strange times, with further reading to be explored should the reader wish. I will be gifting to a friend. Thanks.

Completely unexpectedly, mindfully beautiful

I don’t even remember downloading this, but something clearly compelled
me. I genuinely think it might be life changing. Thank you, Kae Tempest, for opening my eyes and my heart, for reminding me, for the connection.

Trishul

Amazing book. I’m about to go straight back the the start to take it in again. Made so much richer by them reading it. The teaching about the writer, the listener and the text being interchangeable/the same was really deep for me. They are part of the same being. Reminds me of the Shaiva tantric teaching of the trishul: the knower, the means of knowing and the known are the same being
