Description
Amnesia Findings, by Anna Jacobson, is the winner of the 2018 Thomas Shapcott Prize for Poetry.
Now I knit myself back into a human. It's hard work relearning the steps - slip-stitch, drop-stitch, pick-up stitch, loop. I get into a rhythm. The pattern is complex - I drop a few stitches. The holes form gaps in my memory.
Knitting visions and memories, Anna Jacobson's collection traces the skeins of lost histories and the spaces of dropped stitches. Exquisite and whimsical, these poems bear witness to the broken and healed. Gentle but robust, these are poems of personal resilience, framed by explorations of Jewish culture and family and fuelled by a boundless and exhilarating imaginativeness.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Praised as an engaging exploration of culture, spirituality, and memory, this collection is noted for its lucid yet mysterious quality. Judges of the Thomas Shapcott Prize highlighted its contemporary voice rooted in Jewish lore, while Lee Kofman acclaimed its powerful portrayal of mental pain balanced with familial solace and linguistic virtuosity.
