Literature through the ploughman's eyes

The Ploughman’s Vision

Each morning, the ploughman rises. He stands at the edge of his field and stares deep into the rising sun, all while knowing that the day ahead will bring hard labour and exhaustion. His field needs to be ploughed, and so he must work, but just for a moment he will stare out and dream of an escape. That flicker of longing, of imagining a golden life elsewhere, that is the heart of The Ploughman’s.

This space is for anybody who finds themselves with the same longing as the ploughman. It’s for those who wake, work and sleep, and somewhere in between find themselves wondering if there could be more. We believe that the exploration and admiration of literature is the definitive way to blur these lines, to transcend beyond the mundane norms of everyday life and live a wider existence.

The vision of the ploughman is that of the rising sun, of the rays reaching his eyes and warming his mind. Through stories and words, that vision can be shared.


The Ploughman’s is a literary hub for all to enjoy, explore and get involved in. We select books and poems of rich language, imagery and beauty to discuss. Our readers (you) are encouraged to join the conversation by sending in your thoughts, illustrations, inspired creative pieces and opinions, which will then be displayed on the post. Voila – a communal literary hub!
