About Bone Country:

"In Bone Country, Linda Nemec Foster's fractured and melancholic travelogue, the poems (or micro-lyric essays) serve as such luscious and destabilizing portals through which the cities of our world are passed, emerging on the other side slick with luminescence—more amazing, more sad, holy, essential, and strange."
—Matthew Gavin Frank

"In Linda Nemec Foster's Bone Country, each keenly composed and compressed piece seems at once fragmented and yet self-contained. It's the speed and addictive rhythm with which they reel by that transforms this collection into a visionary travelogue."
—Stuart Dybek

"Bone Country shimmers with consummate artistry."
—Clare MacQueen
