The Blue Divide Poems

The poems in this powerful new collection explore the history of conflict and resiliencewhether it occurs during the Nazi occupation of Poland, the Balkan wars in Bosnia and Croatia, or within the intimate tableaux of a familys dissonance. Weaving poems into three distinct sections, Linda Nemec Foster pays close attention to not only what divides us, but also to what can heal and redeem our common journey: an artists notebook; the imagined life of Mary Magdalene; a fascination with Mount Fuji; a mothers obsession with vintage movie stars; a dead fathers love. The Blue Divide resonates with the landscape of the world and the landscape of the heart.
