Wow--the news about TriQuarterly fills me with mixed feelings. I was fortunate enough to have a story in TriQuarterly a while back, and I'm glad to have a print copy I can hold in my hands. It's sad that such an old journal will no longer be making hard copies. At the same time, though, it will probably allow more people easy access to the content itself--which is a benefit.
Thanks for sharing this news, Erika!
I know what you mean about the mixed feelings, Celeste.
