Canon is a literary institution based out of Tufts University in Massachusetts. It publishes in print twice a year and online on a continual basis, as well as organizing workshops, readings and other events for the Tufts community Our mission is one of expansion, contemplation and constant redefinition. By working on Canon, editing Canon, being published in Canon, and discussing Canon, participants acknowledge their right to have their work treated with the same depth of attention and empathy typically reserved for the ‘Late Greats’ in the classical canon, and thereby promote a complex, pluralistic literary discourse at Tufts and beyond.
