The Possibility of Tenderness: Jason Allen-Paisant & Edward Adonteng in Conversation
Join us for an in-conversation event celebrating the paperback launch of Jason Allen-Paisant’s acclaimed book The Possibility of Tenderness. Jason will be joined by artist, poet, and researcher Edward Adonteng from the Garden Museum for a discussion about plants, place, and belonging.
Moving between rural Jamaica and contemporary Britain, The Possibility of Tenderness weaves personal memoir with cultural, social, and environmental history. Through plants, family stories, and the landscape of Coffee Grove, Allen-Paisant reflects on migration, class aspiration, and alternative ways of living with the land.
The conversation will explore how plants carry memory and meaning, how landscapes shape identity, and what histories of cultivation and care can teach us about land, leisure, and repair today.
An intimate and thought-provoking evening for readers interested in nature writing, cultural history, and the transformative power of plants.
