Our new issue, "Neighbors," is dropping on June 15! Issue 36's striking collection of work confronts the ways that people long for each other—from a Playboy Mansion to a Nigerian schoolyard to the classic avyan in a new translation of an unsung Iranian author.

Along with her incredible work manning the Epiphany ship, @saralippmann recently published her second novel, Hidden River. Based in Lippmann’s hometown of Philadelphia, a surprise wedding invitation leads to an honest interrogation of what #MeToo looked like before it had a name.

We're just as surprised as you are—editors of nonprofit lit mags need social interaction, too. That's why the Epiphany team took a breather from reading submissions and proofing our upcoming issue for a backyard hang. Thank you to our fierce EIC @saralippmann for hosting!
