Ploughshares was founded in 1971 at the Plough and Stars in Cambridge, MA. We are a journal of new writing, and each issue is guest-edited by a prominent writer who explores different and personal visions, aesthetics, and literary circles. Since 1989, we have been based at Emerson College in downtown Boston. Pshares.org
