Meet the 2026 Sumac team!
Sumac Literary Magazine
The magazine derives its name from the sumac plant that grows throughout the Carleton campus. The Algonquin word for sumac is “Kàgàgiminaganj” or “Kàgàgimin,” meaning “fruit of the sumac.” We acknowledge that our team is situated on the traditional and unceded territories of the Algonquin Nation and that we are uninvited guests on this land.
At Sumac Literary Magazine, we invite all those who have ties to Carleton University and the land it is situated on to contribute to our flourishing collection of literary works. As sumac grows across Ottawa, we hope to platform growing local authors and creatives through our magazine. To learn more about the magazine, click here.
