Jen Hadfield

Jen Hadfield (born 1978 in Cheshire) is an English poet and artist.

She won the 2008 T.S. Eliot Prize for poetry for her second collection, Nigh-No-Place.[1] This was a notable honour for a relative newcomer, as the award's previous recipients include such major poets as Carol Ann Duffy, Seamus Heaney, and Ted Hughes.

Hadfield also won an Eric Gregory Award in 2003.

Hadfield currently resides in Shetland, off the north-east coast of Scotland.[2] She publishes a line of artbooks, using linocut, photography, woodwork, bookbinding and fly-tying, which she calls "Rogue Seeds".
