The Emerson Review, founded in 1953 as The Scribe, is Emerson College's oldest student-run literary magazine. The book is published annually and is released each spring during a Release Event, which is open to the entire literary community of Boston.
The Emerson Review accepts submissions of poetry, fiction, nonfiction (magazine/journalism articles, personal essay, memoir, etc.), song lyrics, stage- and screenplays, and photography/other visual art.
Currently, distribution of The Emerson Review is limited to the Emerson College community, though distribution is being expanded to include bookstores in the Boston area, and a mailing campaign involving Emerson College donors and former Emerson Review editors is being developed.
Famous quotes containing the words emerson and/or review:
“Music and Wine are one.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Americans have internalized the value that mothers of young children should be mothers first and foremost, and not paid workers. The result is that a substantial amount of confusion, ambivalence, guilt, and anxiety is experienced by working mothers. Our cultural expectations of mother and realities of female participation in the labor force are directly contradictory.”
—Ruth E. Zambrana, U.S. researcher, M. Hurst, and R.L. Hite. “The Working Mother in Contemporary Perspectives: A Review of Literature,” Pediatrics (December 1979)
