Dear friends,
Hello and Happy New Year! Ruminate has had an incredible 2010 thanks to the support of you all, our community. The community response to last year’s year-end appeal generated enough money to support the work of Ruminate for almost the entire 2010 year, enabling us to add a new design to the magazine, host youth and adult poetry workshops, represent Ruminate at three national writing conferences, and publish our biggest issue ever! We hope you will prayerfully consider Ruminate’s needs for the coming year and make a tax-deductible donation—help us continue chewing on life, faith, and art. (And if you have already made a year-end donation to Ruminate, thank you so much!)

Ruminate was recently featured (along with several of our other publishing friends) in a wonderful article in Sojourners Magazine on “The Borderlands of Publishing” by Julie Polter. Polter examines the important work that Ruminate and some of peers are doing in encouraging the Christian art and literary community. The print version is lovely and I highly recommend picking up a copy at your local newsstand–Sojourners is a great publication. Or you can read the article online here. You need to register your email to read it, but registration is free. Enjoy!
