A career retrospective from one of Britain's finest poets of the natural world.
Selected Poems by Shetland-based poet and artist Jen Hadfield gathers together work from her early collections Almanacs (2005), Nigh-No-Place, winner of the 2008 T. S. Eliot Prize, Byssus (2014) and The Stone Age, winner of the 2021 Highland Book Prize.
Hadfield is a highly respected poet of the natural world whose wide-ranging creativity is inextricably linked with the Scottish island of Shetland, where she lives, its rich dialect and rugged landscape infusing her vivid and unpredictable image-making.
Selected Poems will stand not only as a consolidation of her achievement in poetry, but also as a companion volume to Storm Pegs: On Shetland (2024), a captivating collection of essays on the community life and landscape of her island home.
