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.Award-winning novelist and short-story writer Peter Ho Davies (The Welsh Girl, Equal Love) compiles this fiction issue of Ploughshares. The issue features a wide diversity of styles—from Jo Lloyd's story of being young and broke in London, to V.V. Ganeshananthan's description of the death of a Sri Lankan terrorist, to Carolyn Ferrell's footnoted satire about members of an African-American community turning into zombies, each piece covers original ground and uses its own narrative strategies.
