<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>A lyrical and dramatic collection of poems centered around Shetland from the winner of the T. S. Eliot Prize </b> <p/> At first sight, Jen Hadfield's new collection is an astonishingly sharp depiction of the wild landscape of her Shetland home, its people and their working lives, and the things they make and live amongst. But the reader will soon discover in <i>The Stone Age</i> a work of visionary power: in Hadfield's telling, everything - door and wall, flower and rain, shore and sea, the standing stones whose presences charge the land - has a living consciousness, one which can be engaged with as a personal encounter. <br><i>The Stone Age</i> is a timely reminder that our neurodiversity is a gift: we do not all see the world in the same way, and the sharing of our various experiences enriches it immeasurably. Hadfield's lyric line and unashamedly high-stakes wordplay are speech hard-won from silence, and provide nothing less than a portal into a different kind of being. <i>The Stone Age</i> is the work of a singular artist at the height of her powers, one which dramatically extends the range of our shared experience.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Shetland-based Jen Hadfield provides a vivid portrait of the landscape of her home, while also showing how neurodiversity can lead to new slants, insights and metaphors when viewing the world. . . . What's most captivating is how Hadfield brings sensations to life; subtle and propulsive, her language fizzes and dashes "in little surges like rills of clear pleasure". --<i>Guardian</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Jen Hadfield </b>lives in Shetland.
