Paul Owen writes: "If we weren't walking we were riding helicopters. I felt suspended emotionally from my family, home, country and culture. Perhaps more important, I was living world with different social and moral codes than I had been raised, 'Do unto others' and "'thou shall not kill' were no longer the rule. It was like being in another dimension.
Joe Pan's brilliant and complex poem ODE TO THE MQ-9 REAPER, published in the war issue, is mentioned in the front page article in The New York Times, titled Visions of Drones Swarm the Skies Touch Bipartisan Nerve. In Epiphany's War Issue, we published both the ode and a "process piece" in which the creation of the poem is discussed. Pan writes, "I no longer cared if the poem was even a poem anymore--by this time it was growing crazy appendages, moving awkwardly toward journalism, criticism, polemic, autobiography--growing monstrous." Both the poem and the process piece are a fascinating and worthwhile read.
***UPDATE***
Since the publication of Joe Pan's excerpt, three additional contributors to the War Issue have been featured in the New York Times series, "A War Before, and After."
Congratulations to Maurice Decaul, Matt Gallagher, Roy Scranton, and Andrew Slater. To read their pieces, click the link below.
Epiphany gets special mention on NPR's Diane Rehm Show
We are proud to have been the first magazine to publish an excerpt from Domingo Martinez's The Boy Kings of Texas, which was named a recent finalist for the National Book Award.
Epiphany is committed to publishing literary work in which form is as valued as content. We look for writing, wherever it may fall on the spectrum from experimental to traditional, that is thoroughly realized not only in its vision but also in its commitment to artistry. We are especially open to writers whose explorations of new territory may not yet have found validation elsewhere.
Epiphany is a proud member of the Council of Literary Magazines and Presses.
