"'A fascinating, thoroughly engaging exploration of culture and spirituality, belief and rationality, this book's poems are at once lucid and mysterious, profound and immediate. They evoke the esoteric language of their sources in Jewish lore, whilst being unmistakably modern and contemporary. They signal the development of an exciting new voice in Australian poetry.' Judges' comments, Thomas Shapcott Prize ' Amnesia Findings is an intricately executed portrait of mental pain, and familial and domestic solace. Jacobson's poems howl and sing, at once heartbreaking and also soothing with the beauty of their virtuoso linguistic performances. What a remarkable collection.'" --Lee Kofman.
