Episode 155: Jason Allen-Paisant - The Possibility of Tenderness
Jason Allen-Paisant is an award-winning Jamaican poet, writer and academic, based in the UK. His latest work The Possibility of Tenderness is a people’s history of the land, a family saga, and a personal history told through the lens of the 'grung' and plants.
On this episode of Nature Revisited, Allen-Paisant recalls his upbringing in rural Jamaica, the plants, people and farmers of his native district, Coffee Grove, and his eventual migration to the UK. He describes how his transformative personal journey of self-actualization in a new country and his inevitable revisiting of the village of his childhood would become the inspiration for The Possibility of Tenderness as a tale of land, environment, the world of plants, and what a rural village can teach us about leisure, land ownership and reclamation today.
