Winner of the T.S. Eliot Prize 2008


Shortlisted for the Forward Prize for Best Collection


Poetry Book Society Recommendation


The language of Jen Hadfield''s poetry is one of incantation and secular praise. Her first book, Almanacs, was a travellers''s litany, featuring a road movie in poems set in the north of Scotland. Nigh-No-Place is the liturgy of a poet passionately aware of the natural world.

Hadfield began her next book on the hoof, travelling across Canada with a ravenous appetite for new landscapes. She took epic routes: the railway line from Halifax to Vancouver and the Dempster Highway''s 740 km of gravel road, ending in the Arctic oiltowns of Inuvik and Tuktoyuktuk. But it is in Shetland that she becomes acutely aware of her own voice - her fluency and tongue-tiedness; repetition, hiatus and breath.


Nigh-No-Place reflects the breadth of ground she''s covered. ''Ten-minute Break Haiku'' is her response to working in a fish factory. ''Paternoster'' is the Lord''s Prayer uttered by a draught-horse. ''Prenatal Polar Bear'' takes place in Churchill, Manitoba, surrounded by tundra.
