''AGNI'' is an American literary magazine that publishes poetry, fiction, essays, reviews, interviews, and artwork twice a year in print and biweekly online from its home at Boston University. Its editor is Sven Birkerts, the literary critic and essayist; its senior editor is William Pierce. ==History and background== ''AGNI'' was founded in 1972〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.everywritersresource.com/topliterarymagazines.html )〕 at Antioch College by former undergraduate Askold Melnyczuk. After a brief residency in Western Massachusetts, ''AGNI'' relocated to Boston University in 1987, and later moved into the former offices of ''The Partisan Review'' on 236 Bay State Road. Melnyczuk edited ''AGNI'' until July 2002, at which time Sven Birkerts assumed the editorship.〔() History of AGNI, AGNI website〕 The magazine receives support from the Boston University College of Arts and Sciences graduate program in Creative Writing. In addition, ''AGNI'' relies on funding from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Massachusetts Cultural Council, and individual donors. ''AGNI'' publishes two 240-page print issues annually. Each issue includes thirty to forty contributors, with a minimum print run of 3,000. ''AGNI'' has subscribers across the United States and in several other countries. It is also carried by university and public libraries, and is distributed to independent and chain bookstores within the United States. ''AGNI Online,'' an electronic extension of the print magazine, features biweekly postings of new Web-only fiction, poetry, essays, and interviews. Both print and online issues include work from multiple languages. Translations from Urdu, Dutch, German, Spanish, Hungarian, Ukrainian, Yiddish, Chinese, Turkish, Hebrew, Italian, Slovenian, Polish, French, and Latvian have been published in ''AGNI''.〔 According to the magazine’s website, “Literature for literature’s sake is not what ''AGNI'' is about. Rather, we see literature and the arts as part of a broad, ongoing cultural conversation that every society needs to remain vibrant and alive.”〔 The magazine’s name comes from Agni, the Vedic god of fire and guardian of mankind. ''AGNI’s'' symbol, the flying monkey, was originally conceived of by Erin Belieu, the magazine's managing editor at the time of its redesign, beginning with ''AGNI 40,'' and ''AGNI'' interns Richard Curtis and John Mulligan. It has been used since to represent the magazine.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「AGNI (magazine)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
