Dark Card (Texas Review Press) explores themes related to raising a child with Asperger’s Syndrome, a mild autism disorder. About Dark Card, Molly Peacock has said: “Fiercely smart and an absolute warrior, Foust’s intelligence and courage drive every difficult poem home.” Barry Spacks writes, “These poems will break and heal your heart, their rage, hope, insight and love carried by a poetic power as targeted as a bullet-train.”

"Mom’s Canoe presents poetry about the Allegheny Mountain Region of western Pennsylvania, "in all its splendor and grief." –-Matthew Lippman, author of The New Year of Yellow (2007 Sarabande Prize)
Candy Plant. Paper Mill. Strip Mine. In Mom's Canoe, Rebecca Foust recovers "each loved thing lost, sieved/ with bitter salt and ash." She holds local myths, fossil records, family lore and memory to the brutal and compassionate light of poetry. –Robin Becker, author of Domain of Perfect Affection

All That Gorgeous, Pitiless Song
(Many Mountains Moving Press, 2010)
Order a Book
ATGPS won the 2008 MMM Book Prize and will be released at AWP in April 2010. About this book Susan Griffin has written, "I find the poems astonishingly strong and beautiful. It’s not common for me to find an unpublished collection of poems as good as this one."
“All That Gorgeous, Pitiless Song brims with amplitude and vitality. By virtue of her unsentimental warmth of spirit, Foust brings to life an immense range of experience and feeling. This poet’s emotional intelligence correlates, too, with her formal skill, that unique talent for phrase and rhythm with which she makes a whole world palpable, from the hugest events that mark a life to those moments as subtle as ‘some nuance you knew once like breath.’ Rebecca Foust is a superb poet, and All That Gorgeous, Pitiless Song is a tremendous book.” --Peter Campion

 | God, Seed (Tebot Bach Press 2010)
Order a Book
God, Seed is a book of environmental poetry with watercolor images made by local artist Lorna Stevens. Susan Terris writes, "God, Seed is lyrical, intense, and concerned with issues of our planet’s survival. Foust has a fierce yet loving attitude towards nature and human nature. Many of Foust's luminous, insightful poems are paired with paintings by gifted artist Lorna Stevens. This is a book to read and treasure."
Artist William Wiley writes, "God, Seed, a beautiful mix of words and images...light and deep. Good for the eye, mind and heart."
