Description

Jen Hadfield's latest collection of poems is an astonishingly sharp depiction of the wild landscape and people of Shetland. At first sight, it appears to be a straightforward portrayal of the island's natural beauty and working lives, but upon closer inspection, it reveals itself to be a work of visionary power. In The Stone Age, Hadfield imbues everything from door and wall to flower and rain with a living consciousness, inviting the reader to engage with the world in a deeply personal way. This is a timely reminder that our neurodiversity is a gift, enriching our shared experience with diverse perspectives. With its lyric line and unashamedly high-stakes wordplay, this collection provides a portal into a different kind of being. A singular artist at the height of her powers, Hadfield dramatically extends the range of our shared experience in The Stone Age.
