Pheralyn Dove is author of Paradoxes and Color in Motion, a book of poetry with a foreword by the late legendary drummer Max Roach. She is a poet and visual artist, lives in a state of perpetual gratitude, and is passionate about Cultural Preservation, Global African Liberation and Emotional Healing. Pheralyn states, “After many years of searching, trying to discover my way as a writer and poet, I find myself cultivating a different side of me. Photography, collage, and abstract expressionism dominate in my visual work. Ancestors, Intense Color, Movement, and Nature are also recurring themes. I am a Spiritual Dwelling. Listening to my Intuition. Obeying the Spirit. This is my life as an ever-emerging poet and artist.
