We are slowly working on putting this edition into print! Contributors will be mailed a copy. Though this is not something we can promise, in the future we aim to keep putting out print editions and sending contributor's copies. While it's gratifying to be published in any capacity, we are particularly proud to publish the artists and writers we do, and this is one way we want to explicitly express that.

who we are
We seek outsider, clout-less, non-standard work that gleams. We want to celebrate our contributors; both the artist and their art. For us, that means that upon publication, your submissions will appear in a journal that has been conceived by a team of caring and meticulous editors; it will look good. Ultimately, our goal is to publish catalysts of transition for the observer, to lull, or to instigate. We want work that encourages the appreciation of craft and the desire to create.
The Greek word “temenos” refers both to the ancient Greek concept of sacred space and the Jungian 'safe spot' where one may bring the unconscious into the light of consciousness. Our mission is to bring to light works that are engaging, memorable, and fearless.
As of 2021, Temenos publishes one online edition in the spring, and one in the fall. Please see submit for our current Call for Submissions and submission guidelines. Past and current issues of Temenos can be accessed for free on this website, on both the home page and in the Archives. We can be contacted at [email protected].

who we've been
Temenos is a literary journal that originated from Central Michigan University (CMU), founded in 2000 and run entirely by graduate student volunteers. The magazine has no philosophical or aesthetic allegiances. We publish poetry, fiction, creative non-fiction, and art by new and established writers and artists. Since 2020, Temenos operates entirely independently.
where we're going
After a long period of tumult, the Temenos staff is happy to announce that we are back! We are so happy to be doing this and we're excited to read and view your work.
Our submission fee is $5. Submission inquiries can be directed to [email protected]. If funds are lacking, we are willing to accommodate. Incarcerated artists and writers may submit for free, by email, as long as it is noted in the subject of the email.
