Collects some of the personal essays from the poets, novelists and critics who have appeared in the journal "Prairie Schooner".

| Synopsis: |
Called one of the best magazines in America by Nan Talese and "the roots" in Esquire's garden of contemporary literature, and named one of Writer's Digest's "Nineteen Magazines That Matter," Prairie Schooner-one of the oldest and most prestigious literary journals in the country-celebrates seventy-five years of continuous publication. This powerful anthology collects some of the best personal essays from the poets, novelists and critics who have appeared in the journal's pages. Readers will explore a kaleidoscope of memories and experiences, including the power of a planting season, the catharsis that fishing holds for an adolescent boy, the literary fallout from a cousin's death, the lessons learned in the parlor of a Puerto Rican grandmother, the impact of discovering an identical twin's homosexuality, and the revelations of a homecoming. |
