Why Ruminate?

ru'mi-nate: to chew the cud; to muse; to meditate; to think again; to ponder

RUMINATE is a quarterly magazine of short stories, poetry, creative nonfiction, and visual art that resonate with the complexity and truth of the Christian faith. Each issue is a themed forum for literature and art that speaks to the existence of our daily lives while nudging us toward a greater hope. Because of this, we strive to publish quality work accounting for the grappling pleas, as well as the quiet assurances of an authentic faith. RUMINATE Magazine was created for every person who has paused over a good word, a real story, a perfect brushstroke— longing for the significance they point us toward. Please join us.
About Ruminate

RUMINATE MAGAZINE is brought to you from Fort Collins, Colorado. It was created by a few fellow writers, artists, and believers who wanted to develop a space for the thoughtful expressions of those who are nudged forward, backward, and sideways by a faith in God.

We realized we were not the only ones desiring an outlet and community of this sort, so we began fashioning RUMINATE in between prayers of doubt and hope, the birth of a child, going back to grad school and of course, our day jobs. RUMINATE is and always will be an act of faith. We hope it will operate as a resource—providing stimulation, encouragement, community, and hope.

Our staff is volunteer-based. We are all "doing" RUMINATE because we believe in it, in the beauty, brokenness, and grace it attempts to reflect. For a small snapshot of the staff personalities, check out the "Things our staff can't get over " page from Issue 07.
