{"product_id":"2940148902492","title":"Ploughshares Winter 2013-2014","description":"The Winter 2013-14 issue of Ploughshares. Ploughshares is an award-winning journal of new writing. Two out of each year's three issues are guest-edited by prominent writers who explore different personal visions, aesthetics, and literary circles, with the Winter issue staff-edited.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDedicated to Seamus Heaney (1939-2013), a former guest editor, this issue of Ploughshares features a short remembrance of the Irish master by the poet Joyce Peseroff. The prose has a particularly international flavor, from Andrew Foster Altschul's story \"Embarazada,\" about a fraught relationship between a Peruvian waitress and an American tourist, to \"498,\" about a soldier caught in the brutality of the Spanish Civil War. Robert Anthony Seigel's Plan B essay describes his years as a tour guide for Japanese visitors to New York, and Jennifer Acker celebrates the work of the Australian writer Shirley Hazzard.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Winter issue also features poetry by Kevin Young, Linda Bamber, Michael Mlekoday, and Carl Dennis, among many others; a newly discovered poem by Alan Dugan; and the winners of the Emerging Writer's Contest.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDEDICATION\u003cbr\u003e\"Remembering Seamus Heaney,\" by Joyce Peseroff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFICTION\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Embarazada,\" by Andrew Foster Altschul\u003cbr\u003e\"By Morning, New Mercies,\" by Randi Beck\u003cbr\u003e\"La Desaparecida,\" by Jaquira Diaz\u003cbr\u003e\"The Blue Bowl,\" by Emma Duffy-Comparone\u003cbr\u003e\"Fat,\" by Marie Potoczny\u003cbr\u003e\"498,\" by Julian Zabalbeascoa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNONFICTION\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Pilgrimage,\" by Sandell Morse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePOETRY by\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLinda Bamber\u003cbr\u003eMichael Bazzett\u003cbr\u003eJoel Brouwer\u003cbr\u003eDale Cottingham\u003cbr\u003eCarl Dennis\u003cbr\u003eAlan Dugan\u003cbr\u003eAlan Feldman\u003cbr\u003eSara Gelston\u003cbr\u003eBro.
