Talking Diamonds
"A humanist at heart, Linda Nemec Foster has demanded from her poetry an artfulness that engages ordinary life. With each new book her work has continued to mature, deepen, console, surprise, and Talking Diamonds is as wise as it is lovely."
-Stuart Dybek, author of Ecstatic Cahoots and Paper Lantern

-Lisel Mueller, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet
"Foster exacts an energy that is, precisely, visionary, even miraculous. This is an effort so widespread in contemporary poetry as itself to seem a commonplace, and one that generally fails. Not so in Talking Diamonds, which challenges, intrigues, awes, and ultimately gratifies, poem after excellent poem."
-Sydney Lea, author of No Doubt the Nameless and Here
"[Foster's] works here are exceptional and gleaming, serving as a reminder that even experts can excel beyond their own greatness."
-The Grand Rapids Press
