Welcome to the debut issue of TriQuarterly Online. After a distinguished history as an international literary magazine, this university-sponsored print journal, which has been edited by Charles Newman, Elliott Anderson, Reginald Gibbons, and Susan Hahn, now launches in electronic form. You'll find outstanding new fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, and drama, plus book reviews, interviews, commentary, and a lively blog. The electronic format also allows us to present work from TriQuarterly's extensive print archives. We hope you enjoy this new form of what has been one of the premier literary journals of the nation, and we look forward to receiving your comments and responses on our blog.
