A COLLABORATIVE BOOK BY POET AND SINGER P.J. HARVEY AND FILM-MAKER AND PHOTOGRAPHER SEAMUS MURPHY

HARVEY_MURPHY16

A collaborative book by poet and singer PJ Harvey and film-maker and photographer Seamus Murphy: Between 2011 and 2014 PJ Harvey and Seamus Murphy set out on a series of journeys together to Kosovo, Afghanistan, and Washington, D.C.
Harvey collected words, Murphy collected pictures, and together they have created an extraordinary chronicle of our life and times.

The Hollow of the Hand
By: PJ Harvey, Seamus Murphy
Format: Paperback Edition: 1st Extent: 232 ISBN: 9781408865736
Imprint: Bloomsbury Circus 2016
Dimensions: 210 x 141 mm
Price: £16.99

PJ Harvey has released eight critically acclaimed albums, been nominated for six Grammy Awards, and is the only artist to have been awarded the UK’s prestigious Mercury Prize twice (for her albums Stories from the City, Stories From The Sea and Let England Shake). In 2013, she was awarded an MBE for services to music. The Hollow of the Hand is her first published collection of poetry.

Seamus Murphy has documented life and change around the world in still and moving images. He has won seven World Press Photo awards for work in Afghanistan, Sierra Leone, Gaza, Lebanon, Peru, Ireland and England. His depiction of Afghanistan and the Afghans over more than a decade was published as a book, A Darkness Visible: Afghanistan. He later made this into an award-winning film. In 2011, he created 12 Short Films for PJ Harvey’s Let England Shake.

Reviews:
“I loved The Hollow of the Hand, a distilled fusing of poems by PJ Harvey with photography from Kosovo, Afghanistan and Washington, DC by Seamus Murphy to make a powerful alchemy, one that broadens the vision” – Ali Smith

“The Hollow of the Hand, P. J. Harvey’s and Seamus Murphy’s book of poems and photographs, is haunting and elusive. Lyrical, song-like, declarative, the poems have a devastating directness; the photos are direct in a different key” – Times Literary Supplement
