Jen Hadfield won the 2008 T.S. Eliot Prize with her second collection, NIGH-NO-PLACE. In this short video she reads four poems from the book, beginning with the title-poem ‘Nigh-No-Place’, followed by ‘In the same way’, ‘Daed-traa’, and then ‘Paternoster’, the Lords Prayer uttered by a draught-horse. The film shows excerpts from her Wordsworth Trust reading St Oswald’s Church, Grasmere, Cumbria, on 30 June 2009 (when she read in the Dove Cottage series with George Szirtes). The language of Jen Hadfields poetry is one of incantation and secular praise. Her first book, ALMANACS (Bloodaxe Books, 2005), was a travellers litany, featuring a road movie in poems set in the north of Scotland. NIGH-NO-PLACE (Bloodaxe Books, 2008) is the liturgy of a poet passionately aware of the natural world. As well as winning her the T.S. Eliot Prize in 2009 – when she became the youngest poet, at 30, ever to win Britain’s biggest poetry prize – NIGH-NO-PLACE was also shortlisted for the Forward Prize for Best Collection and was a poetry Book Society Recommendation. Jen Hadfield is half Canadian, and lives in Shetland (the remote group of islands north of Scotland and north of Orkney) where she works as a poet, writing tutor and artist. She recently received a Dewar Award to produce a solo exhibition of Shetland ex-votos in the style of sacred Mexican folk art. For more information, see:

Lyrics:
[Michael Shermer]
Science is the best tool ever devised
For understanding how the world works
[Jacob Bronowski]
Science is a very human form of knowledge
We are always at the brink of the known
[Carl Sagan]
Science is a collaborative enterprise
Spanning the generations
We remember those who prepared the way
Seeing for them also
[Neil deGrasse Tyson]
If you’re scientifically literate,
The world looks very different to you
And that understanding empowers you
Refrain:
[Richard Dawkins]
There’s real poetry in the real world
Science is the poetry of reality
[Sagan]
We can do science
And with it, we can improve our lives
[Jill Tarter]
The story of humans is the story of ideas
That shine light into dark corners
[Lawrence Krauss]
Scientists love mysteries
They love not knowing
[Richard Feynman]
I don’t feel frightened by not knowing things
I think it’s much more interesting
[Brian Greene]
There’s a larger universal reality
of which we are all a part
[Stephen Hawking]
The further we probe into the universe
The more remarkable are the discoveries we make
[Carolyn Porco]
The quest for the truth, in and of itself,
Is a story that’s filled with insights
(Refrain)
[Greene]
From our lonely point in the cosmos
We have through the power of thought
Been able to peer back to a brief moment
After the beginning of the universe
[PZ Myers]
I think that science changes the way your mind works
To think a little more deeply about things
[Dawkins]
Science replaces private predjudice
With publicly verifiable evidence
(Refrain)
