We chatted with author/poet Linda Nemec Foster about her new collection of prose poetry, Bone Country. All of the pieces are inspired by other parts of the world—Istanbul, Rome, Krakow, Prague, Vienna, Seville—not the familiar landscape of the United States. But, the narrator is definitely not a native of these countries; they are “the other,” “the foreigner,” the American with a distinct Midwest sensibility who is trying to make sense of a world on the brink of an unforeseen catastrophe. The world as we used to know it. Find information about Linda's book launch event on March 29 at Literati in Ann Arbor: https://www.lindanemecfoster.com/events/ And, as referenced in the episode, you can listen back to previous episodes featuring Linda Nemec Foster and Diane DeCillis.
