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 We are also honored to host a suite of poems from Sterling Plumpp and unpublished work from Toi Derricotte, Angela Jackson, Alexander Chee, Dinty W. Moore, and Kathleen Ossip, among other wonderful writers both familiar and less so.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.

Ammoniacal Masculinity: A Brief Exercise in Correlation
First Chance is a bar outside Kadena Airbase. It is, anti-ironically, the first bar one passes when walking away from Gate Two and down the yakitori vendor-, drunk-American-, and (at times) one-hundred-year-old-woman-urinating-on-the-curb[1]-lined street.
