Description

"With clarity and intensity, Linda Nemec Foster dives deep into the shadows, and deep into the light-global landscape, personal touch; faith and art; the sensual and the cruel; forward and backward through generations of family, acknowledging loss wherever it occurs-all with her trademark tenderness and resilience."

-Jim Daniels, author of Gun/Shy and The Middle Ages

Reviews

"Rich with closely observed detail, narrative depth, and poignant historical reflections, this is a generous and beautiful collection."

-Publishers Weekly


"This gem of a book, retrieved from the deep by a poet at the height of her prowess, is as wide as a 'cavalcade of blue sky' and as deep as 'the blue damask of morning.' Hold these poems up to the light to see the wide blue world (and the world in you) changed, for good."

-Robert Fanning, author of Severance


"Tender, brutal, unflinching, magical-these poems [are] infused with the holiness of the real and the mystery of transcendence: 'face becoming

blossom becoming starburst becoming sea.'"

-Cecilia Woloch, author of Carpathia and Earth
