Publisher’s description: Epiphany was established in 2003 at New York University by adjunct professor and fiction writer Willard Cook and became an independent 501c3 corporation in 2007. From a recent introduction:

"What I love about literary magazines is that they tell us the truth, but tell it 'slant,' as Emily Dickinson wrote. A story or a poem digs around for a personal truth or revelation and spins it in a way different from how the writer would speak if he or she were talking to someone in real life; instead, they speak to some abstract ideal listener, some improbable living breathing assemblage of all the qualities and traits that millennia of trial and error have taught us to think of as human—in other words, to you. Literary magazines are the medium of choice for giving us access to this kind of spin; in a media-saturated age of blasé impatience, they are still the best equipped of any format to tell the truth slant."
