Orlam reveals PJ Harvey as not only one of the most talented songwriters of the age, but a gifted poet - whose formal skill, transforming eye and ear for the lyric line has produced a strange and moving poem like no other.<br/><br/>Nine-year-old Ira-Abel Rawles lives on Hook Farm in the village of UNDERWHELEM. Next to the farm is Gore Woods, Iras sanctuary, overseen by Orlam, the all-seeing lambs eyeball who is Ira-Abels guardian and protector. Here, drawing on the rituals, childrens songs, chants and superstitions of the rural West Country of England, Ira-Abel creates the twin realm through which she can make sense of an increasingly confusing and frightening world. Orlam follows Ira and the inhabitants of UNDERWHELEM month by month through the last year of her childhood innocence. The result is a poemsequence of light and shadow suffused with hints of violence, sexual confusion and perversion, the oppression of family, but also ecstatic moments in sunlit clearings, song and bawdy humour. The broad theme is ultimately one of love carried by Iras personal Christ, the constantly bleeding soldier-ghost Wyman-Elvis, who bears The Word: Love Me Tender.<br/><br/>Orlam is not only a remarkable coming-of-age tale, but the first full-length book written in the Dorset dialect for many decades. Orlam also reveals P J Harvey as not only one of the most talented songwriters of the age, but a gifted poet whose formal skill, transforming eye and ear for the lyric line has produced a strange and moving poem like no other.

The new poetry collection by Poet Laureate Simon Armitage.

It is sixty years since <i>Ariel </i>was first published. This heritage edition restores Berthold Wolpe's iconic jacket and reproduces the original distinctive typesetting in celebration of the enduring importance of a collection that contains many of Sylvia Plath's best-known poems.<br/><br/>Written in an extraordinary burst of creativity just before her death in 1963, the poems are as expressive of joy as they are of desolation. The remarkable combination of artistry and intensity that was recognised on this volume's first publication established Plath as one of the most original and gifted poets of the twentieth century.<br/><br/>'If the poems are despairing, vengeful and destructive, they are at the same time tender, open to things, and also unusually clever, sardonic, hardminded. . . They are works of great artistic purity and, despite all the nihilism, great generosity. . . the book is a major literary event.' A. Alvarez, <i>Observer</i>

Stop All The Clocks [Bok / Inbunden]

Emotion like a feather är en stark och ömsint diktsamling där mjuka iakttagelser möter råa erfarenheter. Dikterna viskar, skriker och andas och möter det ömma likväl som det osminkade. Där finns plats för dina egna känslor att svepa in, känna igen och kanske väcka uttryck i dig. En bok för den som vet att det inre livet ibland är det mest verkliga och att det vi överlever också formar vårt ljus.<br/><br/> Christina Dana skriver med nerv och närvaro om livets skörhet, styrka och råa, tabubelagda skuggor. Hennes texter bär på både musikalisk, expressionistisk rytm och ett orubbligt allvar formade av ett liv levt med öppna ögon och ett orubbligt erkännande av livets alla sidor.<br/><br/> Uppvuxen i Örebro där hon arbetat som frisör, undersköterska och gymnasielärare, har Christina Dana nu fördjupat sig i jazzen, och är verksam som sångerska och låtskapare med en stark förankring i sina texter och en personlig, konstnärlig nyfikenhet. Hennes musik och poesi sammanflätas och hon samverkar med lokala musiker för att skapa musik.<br/><br/> Den akustiska balladen Emotion lika a feather finns att höra på olika streaming tjänster och är en reflektion över hur vårt förflutna är med oss genom livet.
