Reviews
The 56 stories, essays, and poems cho sen from little magazines and small presses for the tenth anthology in this unique series represent the consensus of many prominent editorial consultants. Outstanding in this year's selections are Gayle Whittier's story about girls in a ballet school, Peter Cooley's elegy for a lost child, Stuart Dybek's tale of a girl frozen in a block of ice, Janet Kauff man's sad vignette about parents and their estranged daughter, and the an guished ``Death's Midwives'' by Mar garet Ekstrom. A tone of despair and loss pervades the collection. One draw back: too much writing that seems aimed at other writers and calls atten tion to itself instead of its subjects. Leonard Kniffel, Detroit P.L .
