A little bit about the magazine:

In the 1950s and 1960s, EPOCH brought to light the first published fiction of Thomas Pynchon, Don DeLillo, and Stanley Elkin, along with early stories by Philip Roth and Joyce Carol Oates.

The magazine now appears three times a year in September, January, and May. Recent work from EPOCH has been reprinted in (and cited in) all of the major annual anthologies: Best American Short Stories; Best American Poetry; Best American Essays; The Pushcart Prize: Best of the Small Presses; Prize Stories: The O. Henry Awards; Editor's Choice Awards; Best of the West; New Stories from the South.

EPOCH does not publish literary criticism or book reviews. We intend to keep the magazine eclectic, an open forum for traditional and experimental work, including the long poem. We continue to make space in the magazine for new writers and for work (like the long poem) that might be considered unwieldy.
