Reseña del editor:
Singer, songwriter, poet, and artist PJ Harvey has built a long and successful career by always pushing herself further, exploring her limits, and letting her curiosity lead her. In recent years, her interests have become more global, and her journeys for inspiration have sent her farther afield. Her friend and collaborator, the photographer Seamus Murphy, has twenty-five years of experience traveling the world and documenting it. For "The Hollow of the Hand, "the two set out together, to Kosovo and Afghanistan, and to Washington, D.C.: she would collect words, he would collect pictures, and together they would create an extraordinary chronicle of our life and times. Harvey and Murphy have collaborated previously: for her critically acclaimed record "Let England Shake," Harvey asked the artist to create short films to accompany each song, resulting in a sort of visual album to accompany the musical one. Here, these two socially conscious storytellers have built something together from the ground. "The Hollow of the Hand "marks the first publication of Harvey's impassioned poetry, in conversation with Murphy's indelible images: a landmark project. "The Hollow of the Hand "is available in two formats: a deluxe hardcover edition with highest quality photographic reproductions, and an accessibly priced reader's edition in paperback.""""
