In Mountain Amnesia, Thompson's poems rebuild a new world-and self-in the wake of destruction and loss. Mountain Amnesia also explores the question of how implicated or dependent we are on the lives and actions of others. What does it mean to be accountable to and responsible for those around you? Mountain Amnesia both pursues and surrenders to these limits of knowing, narrowing the vast distances between ourselves and others. 90 pages pb
