PJ Harvey - Orlam: A Conversation
This event has been and gone.
Please note: Info provided by the Event Organiser
In this spoken-word, non-music event, PJ Harvey will recite poems from her new book, and joins in conversation with renowned British poet Ian Duhig.
Orlam reveals PJ Harvey as a gifted poet – whose formal skill, transforming eye and ear for the lyric line has produced a strange and moving poem like no other. Orlam is not only a remarkable coming-of-age tale, but the first full-length book written in the Dorset dialect for many decades.
Featuring
PJ Harvey
Polly Jean Harvey first hit the music scene in the early 90s with her 'Dry' album. An original style, described as caustic, seductive, savage and ironic, propelled her into stardom and continues to do so, but she has remained unique and uncorrupted by commercial temptation. From the outset of her career, the work of PJ Harvey has commanded attention.
