Ploughshares
Emerson College publication
Ploughshares is a literary magazine founded in 1971 and published by Emerson College in Boston.
It publishes poetry, fiction, and essays, typically with each issue guest-edited by a different prominent writer.
The name evokes the biblical injunction to beat swords into ploughshares, suggesting literature as an instrument of peace rather than conflict.
Her story was accepted by Ploughshares after years of rejections elsewhere.
