{"product_id":"2940016383156","title":"Ploughshares Spring 2013 Guest-Edited by Major Jackson","description":"The Spring 2013 issue of Ploughshares, edited by Major Jackson. Ploughshares, a journal of new writing, is guest-edited serially by prominent writers who explore different personal visions, aesthetics, and literary circles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe poet Major Jackson (Holding Company, Hoops) compiles this eclectic Spring issue, which includes the work of several distinguished writers and newcomers. Featuring poetry by writers like Mark Doty, Martin Espada, Tony Hoagland, Laura Kasischke, Sharon Olds, Carl Phillips, and Tracy K. Smith, the issue is a dazzling tour of the modern poetic landscape in America. There is also a wide variety of fiction, from the story of a high school girl in the South and her relationship with a white teacher (\"What Happens Next,\" by Emily Bernard) to a New York doorman dying of cancer (\"The Rubber Game,\" by Sherri Phillips). The issue also features a Plan B essay by Floyd Skloot (\"The Great Dream\"), about the mostly thwarted ambitions of the members of his family, and an appreciation of the British writer Barbara Pym (\"Patron Saint of Quiet Lives,\" by Raina Lipsitz).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eINTRODUCTION\u003cbr\u003eMajor Jackson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEDITOR PROFILE\u003cbr\u003eGregory Pardlo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFICTION\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"What Happens Next,\" by Emily Bernard\u003cbr\u003e\"Brief Encounter with the Household Gods,\" by David Huddle\u003cbr\u003e\"Transfer Station,\" by Elise Juska\u003cbr\u003e\"Andorra,\" by Szidonia Molnar\u003cbr\u003e\"The Rubber Game,\" Sherri Phillips\u003cbr\u003e\"Monkey See,\" by David James Poissant\u003cbr\u003e\"Alan at the Kirschbergs',\" by Anna Solomon\u003cbr\u003e\"Church,\" by Kimberly Swayze\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePOETRY by\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePeter Balakian\u003cbr\u003eSandra Beasley\u003cbr\u003eErin Belieu\u003cbr\u003eTraci Brimhall\u003cbr\u003eJericho Brown\u003cbr\u003eStephen Browning\u003cbr\u003eMaggie Dietz\u003cbr\u003eMark Doty\u003cbr\u003eJaclyn Dwyer\u003cbr\u003eMartin Espada\u003cbr\u003eDidi Gibbs\u003cbr\u003eNathalie Handal\u003cbr\u003eTony Hoagland\u003cbr\u003eLaura Kasischke\u003cbr\u003eJoanna Klink\u003cbr\u003eRebecca Lehmann\u003cbr\u003eAlex Lemon\u003cbr\u003eJamaal May\u003cbr\u003eJeffrey McDaniel\u003cbr\u003eErika Meitner\u003cbr\u003eFred Moten\u003cbr\u003eHarryette Mullen\u003cbr\u003eVi Khi Nao\u003cbr\u003eJay Nebel\u003cbr\u003eSharon Olds\u003cbr\u003eYaddyra Peralta\u003cbr\u003eCarl Phillips\u003cbr\u003eCatherine Pierce\u003cbr\u003eBethany Pray\u003cbr\u003eNicole Sealey\u003cbr\u003eMaureen Seaton\u003cbr\u003eLisa Sewell\u003cbr\u003eJohn Warner Smith\u003cbr\u003eTracy K.
