MFA Creative Writing Student Jacob Hibbard Published in Quarterly West

Congratulations to MFA Creative Writing graduate student Jacob Hibbard on publication of his short story, "Vanitas," in Quarterly West issue 108!

An excerpt from "Vanitas":

Here is Perez, driving a just-washed Chrysler 300 with the radio off and the windows up, staying in the lines like coloring a coloring book. He inflated the tires too, post-wash, so they grip good to sharp curves…like now, alongside a flattened corn field, where droplets still run lines across the windshield.

Here’s Perez’s mom smiling, laughing, covering her mouth.

“It’s a car,” she says. 

“It is,” Perez says too.  [ . . . ]
