The Language of Listening ~ A book of image and prose by Pamella Allen
​The Language of Listening is a book of original prose, paintings, prints and photography by Jamaican born contemporary artist Pamella Allen, inspired by her life experiences traveling over land and sea while prolifically creating works of art drawn from themes steeped
in the mystic of nature and humanity.

 "The prose and images in The Language of Listening speak to our collective experience on planet earth, they speak of survival through joy and pain in all of the extremes of our spiritual, natural and unnatural worlds. What we create and what creates us. In my prose lie our collective stories and the simple fact, that beyond our arbitrary differences we are all one and the same. So here now I throw in my lot, in an effort to bring solace, peace, joy and redemption to another. In writing this book, I am sharing what has been given to me, my methodology is the painting and the prose; it is truth in action put out into the world from a place of love, passion and compassion."
