Issue 143

Winter & Spring 2013

  • Hello and welcome to the sixth online issue of TriQuarterly. We're excited to feature cinepoems for the first time, in the spirit of Man Ray and Anaïs Nin, but with a few more resources at our disposal than the pioneers of the genre. We are also honored to host a suite of poems from Sterling Plumpp and unpublished work from Toi Derricotte, Angela Jackson, Alexander Chee, Dinty W. Moore, and Kathleen Ossip, among other wonderful writers both familiar and less so. If you thought anything about this issue, please share it with us: triquarterly@northwestern.edu. If you just read and enjoyed, that's perfect too. --L.P.

Tattoo Theory

My own personal map of America on the back of the airplane seat

where the cartoon plane tells you where you’ve been and where

you’re going is, for some reason, in Spanish. So it reads Montes Apalaches.
