Orlam is a remarkable coming-of-age tale, and the first full-length book written in the Dorset dialect for many decades.
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 have produced a strange and moving poem like no other.
Deryn Rees-Jones won an Eric Gregory award in 1993, and was shortlisted for the Forward Prize for Best First Collection in 1995. In 2004 she was named as one of Mslexia’s ‘top ten’ women poets of the decade, and chosen as one of the Poetry Book Society’s Next Generation.
