This book was written at exactly the right moment, in these months when connection can be so difficult, in these months when connection should be the priority, holding together, but where things seem to be separating us from each other. Kae Tempest explains how she connects as an artist through creativity, giving herself out to people through her songs and poetry. But connection can be different for each of us. It can happen through talking to a stranger, baking a cake, knitting a jumper for someone. It’s just about reaching out of ourselves to find others. I saw Kae Tempest at the Alhambra on the 25th of November 2019 and loved her spoken word performance. This book is the prolongation of her, I felt the same truth and honesty in her words.
