Rebecca Foust was the 2014 Dartmouth Poet in Residence and is the recipient of fellowships from the Frost Place and the MacDowell Colony. Her fifth book of poetry, Paradise Drive, won the 2015 Press 53 Award for Poetry and makes the crossover into fiction in a linked sonnet narrative featuring a protagonist named Pilgrim. About Paradise Drive, Thomas Lux says "There is great music in these poems, and sonnet after sonnet is masterful. Not since Berryman's Henry have I been so engaged by a persona" and Molly Peacock says, "Foust drives her Keatsian sensibility straight into the 21st century of terrorism and autism, divorce and yoga, soldiers and syringes, booze and valet parking, determined to prove that truth makes beauty." Foust's other books include All That Gorgeous, Pitiless Song, winner of the Many Mountains Moving Prize and God, Seed: Poetry & Art about the Natural World, winner of a Foreword Book of the Year Award in 2010, a collaboration with artist Lorna Stevens that looks at the Nature Poem in a contemporary and compromised world. Dark Card, inspired by mothering a child on the autistic spectrum, won the Robert Phillips Poetry Chapbook Award in 2008, and Mom's Canoe, poems about Foust's childhood in rustbelt western Pennsylvania, won the same award in 2007.
