About

Janus is a student produced literary magazine published out of Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri.  It was created in 1962 by professors Jay Karr of Westminster and Felix Morrison of William Woods as a way to provide an outlet for Westminster and William Woods students to collaborate and showcase their creative writing skills.

 

Currently, the magazine operates solely as a Westminster College magazine. The magazine accepts works from Westminster students year-round and publishes each spring semester. The magazine publishes pieces in poetry, fiction and non-fiction prose, and visual art.

 

Copies of the printed version can be found in various academic buildings and the library on campus.
