This was by far one of the finest editions of Ploughshares I've ever read. Simply that. I was astounded by the poetry and poets and applaud every single offering. I loved all fiction and non-fiction offerings, too. As always, I read the Emerging Writers section first. Amazing range and the short interviews with each writer as to technique and influence spurred much thought. I don't have time to comment on each piece. I just applaud them all!
