Linda Nemec Foster’s poetry collection, Talking Diamonds, sparkles with brilliance

October 21, 2010/in News, Poems, Review /by Administrator

Talking Diamonds proves to be a fitting title for Linda Nemec Foster’s latest collection of poetry as the poems within sparkle with brilliance. Honored as a finalist in ForeWord Magazine’s 2010 Book of the Year Award in Poetry, Talking Diamonds is arguably Foster’s strongest collection yet — quite a feat for Grand Rapids’ former poet laureate, who adds this, her ninth collection of poems, to her lengthy list of literary accomplishments.

Review of Linda Nemec Foster’s Talking Diamonds

February 16, 2010/in Books, Review /by Administrator

Featuring a sprouting amaryllis bulb, a handful of seashells, and a holy card of  the Virgin and Child—all bathed in red—the cover of Talking Diamonds sets the tone for the many somber poems in this, Foster’s ninth collection. Other books by Foster, who was named the first poet laureate of Grand Rapids in 2003, include Amber Necklace from Gdansk and Ten Songs from Bulgaria.

Mark Lamoureux on four Cervena Barva Press Chapbooks

June 1, 2009/in News /by Administrator
