Hadfield brings sensations to life; subtle and propulsive, her language fizzes and dashes -- Rishi Dastidar on The Stone Age ― The Guardian

[Storm Pegs] is a bewitching book, tactile and immersive, riven with salt winds, alive with human oddities and loud with the cries of seabirds. Everything glows in the light of Hadfield’s words, from slimy sea molluscs to grand island vistas. ― The Telegraph

There are as many creatures as people in Nigh-No-Place, and poems are more like brilliant snapshots than whole, poised works. The writing is all the better for this manifestation of energy . . . Hadfield's refreshing voice carries all the way from the top of Scotland to blow some of the dust off British verse. -- Stephen Knight on Nigh-No-Place ― The Independent

There is something magical and incantatory in the way she cherishes language at the level of the name, as if utterance itself might be a way of dwelling in the real and making oneself at home there ― The New Statesman

The Stone Age transports us to the bleakly beautiful landscape of Shetland, where she lives. Hers is an uncompromising eye which sees Soul in everything . . . Strange and challenging, these poems demand as much attention as the poet gives her world. ― Daily Mail
