TriQuarterly

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 as an innovative national publication aimed at a sophisticated and diverse literary readership. 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.

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.
