Plath Profiles 4 Update

Plath Profiles 4 is nearly ready to be put together. We have more than 50 contributions this issue. Ok, 51.

Visitors to the Plath Profiles website will notice that we have now a detail from Volume 4's cover which is of Kristina Zimbakova's "Out of the Shoe and into the Cauldron." Kristina is as you know a Macedonian artist and Plath scholar, and recently she has seen a selection of poems of Anne Sexton's which she translated published. Congratulations Kristina!

The left hand navigation on Plath Profiles' website was updated recently too and you will find a link to the current issue, and beneath that a link to the archives. The archives are free and features both the issues and our various Call for Papers.

The submissions page has been recently revised, too. If you are considering submitting to Plath Profiles - and we hope you do - please review the submission guidelines and do not hesitate to ask if you have any questions! We have one call for papers up right and and two additional topics on which Plath Profiles is interested in reading submissions will be posted shortly.

As you know, normally we publish in August but we kicked patootie and hope to have the issue up in July.

Melanie Smith said...: Thank you Peter, I look forward to each edition of Plath Profiles. It is fabulous to have a publication point purely for all things Plath (ooh alliterative.

I await this one excitedly!; 16 June, 2011 21:47
Kristina Zimbakova said...: Being a''rat's star'' aficionado, Sexton would have adored the example "I don't give a rat's patootie" in the Urban Dictionary. :-) :-); 17 June, 2011 10:32
Peter K Steinberg said...: Melanie we hope the issue is worth the wait and doesn't disappoint!

Kristina! You are a star, not a rat.
