Description
Jen Hadfield's poetry collection "Nigh-No-Place" is a deeply personal and evocative exploration of the natural world. Written during a journey across Canada, this book reflects her fluency with language and her awareness of its limitations. Hadfield's travels took her to remote landscapes, from the Arctic oiltowns of Inuvik and Tuktoyuktuk to the rugged terrain of Shetland. Along the way, she found inspiration in the everyday moments that often go unnoticed - a ten-minute break haiku written while working in a fish factory, or the Lord's Prayer uttered by a draught-horse. With "Nigh-No-Place", Hadfield offers a unique and powerful voice, one that is both deeply rooted in the natural world and intensely aware of its own limitations.
