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.

Wake Up Right
I met Marcus one night when I was out with my supervisor at the biker bar on the east side of town. The bar had one fluorescent stick for light and was filled with men whose tattoos looked homemade. After midnight, this was the only place open in town, and I saw the same faces in there night after night, but I hadn’t noticed Marcus before.
