In his Introduction to the issue, Hirsch says, \"I want to send out this issue of Ploughshares in the high spirits of a Saturday morning in late March. I was alone and took a long walk by myself, but I also carried with me this surprising gathering of writers, this sudden congregation of solitaries, some from different countries, a few no longer living. It was solitude with others, some of whom scared me with their intensity, which is what one wants from art.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFull Table of Contents\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eINTRODUCTION\u003cbr\u003eEdward Hirsch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEDITOR PROFILE\u003cbr\u003eBrian Barker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFICTION\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Ghosts,\" by Charles Baxter\u003cbr\u003e\"Closely Held,\" by Allegra Goodman\u003cbr\u003e\"Winter Worm, Summer Weed,\" by Xiaolu Guo\u003cbr\u003e\"Goat,\" by Beena Kamlani\u003cbr\u003e\"Hi Howya Doin,\" by Joyce Carol Oates\u003cbr\u003e\"Pleasure Boating in Lituya Bay,\" by Jim Shepard\u003cbr\u003e\"Dressing Up,\" by Maxine Swann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNONFICTION\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Dead of the Night,\" by Patricia Hampl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePOETRY\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarjorie Agosin\u003cbr\u003eMarianne Boruch\u003cbr\u003eDavid Bottoms\u003cbr\u003eYiorgos Chouliaras\u003cbr\u003eNicholas Christopher\u003cbr\u003eVictoria Clausi\u003cbr\u003eMichael Collier\u003cbr\u003eJosephine Dickinson\u003cbr\u003eStuart Dybek\u003cbr\u003eRobin Ekiss\u003cbr\u003eGary Fincke\u003cbr\u003eChris Forhan\u003cbr\u003eJudith Hall\u003cbr\u003ePatrick Hicks\u003cbr\u003eBob Hicok\u003cbr\u003eGarrett Hongo\u003cbr\u003eMaria Hummel\u003cbr\u003eRyszard Krynicki\u003cbr\u003ePhilip Levine\u003cbr\u003eBronislaw Maj\u003cbr\u003eCorey Marks\u003cbr\u003eCate Marvin\u003cbr\u003eJames McCorkle\u003cbr\u003eMichael Milburn\u003cbr\u003eEugenio Montejo\u003cbr\u003eMuriel Nelson\u003cbr\u003eDebra Nystrom\u003cbr\u003eJiri Orten\u003cbr\u003eJacqueline Osherow\u003cbr\u003eSue Owen\u003cbr\u003eElizabeth Powell\u003cbr\u003eLen Roberts\u003cbr\u003eJohn Rybicki\u003cbr\u003eCaroline Sanderson\u003cbr\u003ePhilip Schultz\u003cbr\u003eVijay Seshadri\u003cbr\u003eJason Shinder\u003cbr\u003eRon Slate\u003cbr\u003eAnn Snodgrass\u003cbr\u003eSusan Stewart\u003cbr\u003eDan Stryk\u003cbr\u003eWislawa Szymborksa\u003cbr\u003eDaniel Tobin\u003cbr\u003eDavid Wagoner\u003cbr\u003eCharles Harper Webb\u003cbr\u003eGeorge Witte\u003cbr\u003eValerie Wohlfeld\u003cbr\u003eKevin Young\u003cbr\u003eAdam Zagajewski\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEDITORS' SHELF","brand":"Ploughshares \/ Emerson College","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47146653843696,"sku":"2940016347905","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940016347905_p0.jpg?v=1763634539","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940016347905","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
