Since its founding at Northwestern University in 1964,
TriQuarterly has remained one of the most widely admired and important literary magazines in the country. Under the editorial direction of poet Susan Firestone Hahn,
TriQuarterly continues to publish the best work of both established and new poets and fiction writers.
TriQuarterly 128 has been dubbed the "Ultra-talk" issue by its editors Barbara Hamby and David Kirby. The ultra-talk poem, as coined by poet Mark Halliday, is "one in which detailed anecdotes, bits of pop culture past and present, and references to books are woven together, as though the poet is saying, 'These seven or eleven things are swirling in my head and I feel an emotional circuit among them and this poem is trying to light up the whole circuit.'"
