Winner of the 2021 Highland Book Prize 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. The Stone Age 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. The Stone Age 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. The Stone Age 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.
