description: From the Ted Hughes award winner and Sunday TImes bestselling authour Kae Tempest.The increasingly hyper-individualistic competitive and exploitative society that we live in has caused a global crisis at the turn of the new decade; in order to survive numbness has pervaded us all.In this urgent and incisive pamphlet Kae Tempest leads the reckoning against this system placing our legacy in our own hands. Creativity holds the key: the ability to provide us with internal and external connection to move us beyond consumption to allow us to discover authenticity and closeness to all others to deliver us an antidote for our numbness. This is beyond 'art'. Creative connection is anything that brings us closer to ourselves and fellow human beings and it has the potential to offer insights into mental health politics and beyond. Powerful hopeful and full of humanity On Connection confirms Tempest as one of the most important voices of their generation.
