Performer and poet Kae Tempest unpacks both how art and music work to connect us with others who are different from us, while also sharing personal experiences from the path towards leading a creative life. Packed with both theoretical insight as well as examples from the ups and downs of everyday life, it’s a short but deep read. The book is a key one, offering a synthetic and emotive new way to consider the role of art in society for the period ahead.
