Dark Card (Texas Review Press) explores themes related to raising a child with Asperger’s Syndrome, a mild autism disorder. Reviews are linked on the Reviews Page, above. About Dark Card, Molly Peacock has said: “Fiercely smart and an absolute warrior, Foust’s intelligence and courage drive every difficult poem home. The distilled vigor of Dark Card gives us the internal shock we look for in the best poetry.” 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
