TriQuarterly is a not-for-profit American literary magazine published three times a year at Northwestern University that features fiction, poetry, literary essays, and graphic art.
Founded in 1958 as a faculty and student magazine, TriQuarterly was reshaped in 1964 by Charles Newman as an innovative national publication aimed at a sophisticated and diverse literary readership.[1] The physical aspect of many literary journals today derives from the creation of the TriQuarterly design in 1964.
By publishing a combination of general issues and occasional special issues, such as for Vladimir Nabokov on his seventieth birthday; Prose for Borges; and The Little Magazine in America: A Modern Documentary History, TriQuarterly quickly became one of the most widely admired and important American literary journals.
On September 21, 2009, Northwestern University announced that it would close down the journal and transfer the name TriQuarterly to a new student-edited online publication in 2010.[2]
Recognition
The New York Times has called TriQuarterly “perhaps the preeminent journal for literary fiction” in America, and the Times Literary Supplement (London) has said that TriQuarterly “fulfilled the classic function of the literary magazine in the twentieth century.” Library Journal called TriQuarterly “the premier literary review currently being published.”
Over the years TriQuarterly has been among the first to recognize the promise of early works by soon to be well-known writers, including Joyce Carol Oates, Charles Baxter, and Amy Hempel. Works first published in TriQuarterly have consistently graced the pages of the annual Best American Poetry, Best American Short Story and Best American Essay anthologies, as well as the Best American Mystery Stories, New Stories from the South, and the Pushcart Prize and O. Henry Prize anthologies.
