Reviews

[Susan Emmet · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of the finest editions of Ploughshares in a long time.
All nine long pieces were deeply engaging, disturbing, truthful and timely.
The threat of violence, its rootedness in our culture, the problem of gender, and learning to cope/participate/rationalize/flee is stunning.
I don't have time on New Year's Eve to write more.
Suffice it to say that nabbing this anthology is well worth it.
