People are still settling into the hard news that TriQuarterly as we know it is disappearing. I’m still waiting for some sort of white knight to ride in (guess I read too many fairy tales as a kid). To keep you up to speed:
Here’s my post that includes the email from one of the editors.
Here’s the official Northwestern University press release about the situation.
Here’s another take from Howard Junker, editor of the highly-respected journal ZYZZYVA, who notes that “as far as I can tell, TriQ is the first major litmag to be e-ed. It certainly won't be the last.”
And poets C. Dale Young (scroll down) and Victoria Chang offer personal, heartfelt recollections of what made TriQuarterly so special.
UPDATE: C. Dale Young offers more links at Avoiding the Muse: http://avoidmuse.blogspot.com/2009/09/more-on-triquarterly-dustup.html
(Discolosure: I graduated from Northwestern and have had two stories published in TriQuarterly.)
