| Description: | Select Guide Rating A lyrical and dramatic collection of poems centered around Shetland from the winner of the T. S. Eliot Prize. <p><b>Winner of the 2021 Highland Book Prize</b><br><br>Jen Hadfield’s new collection is an astonished beholding of the wild landscape of her Shetland home, a tale of hard-won speech, and the balm of the silence it rides upon. <i>The Stone Age</i> builds steadily to a powerful and visionary panpsychism: in Hadfield’s telling, everything – gate 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><br><i>The Stone Age</i> is a timely reminder that our neurodiversity is a gift: we do not all see the world the world in the same way, and Hadfield’s lyric line and unashamedly high-stakes wordplay 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 and enriches the range of our shared experience.</p> |
