Description

Jen Hadfield's Almanacs is a poetic exploration of lists, rules and archetypes that don't account for. The book delves into the lore of Tarot, Full Moons, weather myths and travellers' tales, weaving a narrative that is both personal and universal. At its core, Almanacs is a road movie in poems, set against the backdrop of the north of Scotland. It's a story about yearning, with two seas separated by just a few metres, desperate for each other. The book's central sequence, Lorelei's Lore, is a meditation on what makes something beautiful and where our native homes lie. Through its use of lists, rules and archetypes, Almanacs invites the reader to ponder these questions alongside the poet. With its unique blend of myth, travelogue and personal reflection, this book offers a thought-provoking and deeply human exploration of the world around us.
