AGNI was founded in 1972 at Antioch College. The magazine sees "literature and the arts as part of a broad, ongoing culturalconversation that every society needs to remain vibrant and alive. Our writers and artists hold a mirror up to nature, mankind, the world; they courageously reflect their age, for better or worse; and their work provokes perceptions and thoughts that help us understand and respond to our age. Literature for literature’s sake is not what AGNI is about."

Most of the issues include work from multiple languages, and so far translations from Urdu, Dutch, Latin, German, Spanish, Hungarian, Ukrainian, Yiddish, Chinese, Turkish, Greek and Ancient Greek, Hebrew, Albanian, Old English, Polish, Italian, Slovenian, French, and Latvian have been published.
