PJ Harvey on Orlam, her narrative poem in Dorset dialect.

PJ Harvey on her narrative poem Orlam, Radical Landscapes exhibition at Tate Liverpool and  TV show The Terror-Infamy reviewed.

Singer songwriter PJ Harvey tells us about Orlam, her narrative poem set in a magic realist version of the West Country - a rural, and at times gothic, coming-of-age story and the first full-length book written in the Dorset dialect for many decades.

Radical Landscapes is the name of a new exhibition exploring human connections with the landscape, at Tate Liverpool.  The Terror-Infamy is a drama on BBC2 depicting the internment camps in the US where those of Japanese heritage were kept after Pearl Harbour - and a strange spirit is abroad.  Writers and critics Tahmima Anam and Laura Robertson join Front Row to review both.
