I wanted to smell the air, feel the soil and meet the people of the countries I was fascinated with. Following our work on \u003ci\u003eLet England Shake\u003c\/i\u003e, my friend Seamus Murphy and I agreed to grow a project together lead by our instincts on where we should go.’\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  Seamus Murphy adds: ‘Polly is a writer who loves images and I am a photographer who loves words.  Our relationship began a few years ago when she asked me if I would like to take some photographs and make some films for her last album \u003ci\u003eLet England Shake\u003c\/i\u003e. I was intrigued and the adventure began, now finding another form in this book. It is our look at home and the world.’\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003ci\u003eThe Hollow of the Hand \u003c\/i\u003ewill be available in a hardback edition with highest quality photographic reproductions, as well as a reader’s paperback version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40477845913697,"sku":"9781408865736","price":21.73,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_33128873.jpg?v=1770364792","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781408865736-hollow-of-the-hand","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
