Editorial Reviews

To write poems is one thing. To tell a story is another. To use poetry as a vehicle to tell a story that grips, compels, and empowers you is a whole other thing. Foster does this. Find all of life's emotions here: the bitter, the sweet, and all in between as it rages onward toward finding a place of power within the self. Foster found a way to make each poem work on its own while tying into the momentum she builds.

Each poem showcases the poet's ability to weave intricate tapestries of feeling and insight, drawing readers into an intimate world while prompting reflection on their own lives.

Goodreads - Jules Landry

This is no 'glitter and sunshine' poetry book. It is tightly woven, cutting deep. There is anger, suffering, and wrestling with womanhood. Foster's collection spoke to me, leaving me speechless and profoundly moved.

The Drill Mag - Jennica Schwartzman

Afternoon Abundance isn't just a collection of poems, it's a journey of self-discovery—for Foster and for her lucky readers. Her images are hard and soft, her words wild and tame, her meaning personal and political. I love it.
