Anthologies
When We Were Countries
The Hanging Loose Press High School Writing Collection
When We Were Countries is a collection of extraordinary
poems and stories by 73 of the nation’s most outstanding
high school age writers. All the work first appeared in
the special high school section of Hanging Loose magazine,
the standard for cutting-edge work by teenage writers since
1968, offering young writers the opportunity to have their
work published alongside that of professionals in one of
the country’s oldest and most distinguished literary
journals. The poetry and fiction in this volume, as in
the previous three, has been selected by Hanging Loose editors
Mark Pawlak, Dick Lourie, and Robert Hershon. And When
We Were Countries incorporates a new feature not included
in the previous collections. Four accomplished poet/teachers
share their perspectives on how they have nurtured teen
writers: Marty Skoble teaches at Saint Ann’s School
in Brooklyn; Kathleen Aguero is a professor at Pine Manor
College near Boston and instructs teenagers every summer
at the New York State Young Writers Institute; Kip Zegers
teaches at New York City’s Hunter College High School;
and Joanna Fuhrman instructs students at Rutgers University
in New Jersey. She is also an alumna of the magazine: Her
own early poems first appeared in the Hanging Loose high
school section 20 years ago, and she has gone on to publish
four volumes of poetry, the most recent of which won the
prestigious 2009 Kinereth Gensler Award.

Voices of the City edited by
King, Russell, Carter & Hershon
Voices of the City is a collection of vibrant poems that
take the pulse of the modern city in all its joy and despair, its yearning
and celebration. Organized by the Institute on Ethnicity, Culture, and
the Modern Experience at Rutgers University Newark, in conjunction with
Hanging Loose Press, this anthology features work from some of the country’s
best-known writers side by side with prize-winning poems by talented teenagers.
In the words of co-editor Rosamond S. King: “Think of each of these poems
as a window onto an urban landscape. From some, you will see a panoramic view
of city life, from others a distilled moment. Together, these poem-windows present
dozens of perspectives on urban environments.”
Poetry, 96 pages

The Brooklyn Rail Fiction Anthology
The Brooklyn Rail Fiction Anthology presents a generous selection of
prose that first appeared in the pages of that monthly tabloid publication
of arts, politics, and culture during Donald Breckenridge’s tenure
as fiction editor. This anthology was conceived not as a “best
of” the Rail fiction section, but as an overview of the variety
of short fiction that has appeared in its pages. As the Rail Fiction
Editor, Breckenridge’s goal has been to highlight the talents of
emerging writers, many of whom live in Brooklyn, as well as to showcase
the current writing of established authors who have been marginalized
by an increasingly risk- averse, profit-driven publishing industry.” The
Brooklyn Rail Fiction Anthology contains about one-third of the fiction
that Breckenridge chose to publish in the journal since 2002.
