Welcome to the debut issue of TriQuarterly Online. After a distinguished history as an international literary magazine, this university-sponsored print journal, which has been edited by Charles Newman, Elliott Anderson, Reginald Gibbons, and Susan Hahn, now launches in electronic form. You'll find outstanding new fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, and drama, plus book reviews, interviews, commentary, and a lively blog. The electronic format also allows us to present work from TriQuarterly's extensive print archives. We hope you enjoy this new form of what has been one of the premier literary journals of the nation, and we look forward to receiving your comments and responses on our blog.

The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving
Fingers
My Piper will break your heart with her new gap-toothed smile, and her flapper haircut, and her tiny bitten fingernails. When you see my Piper in front of the Toasted Oats, spindly-legged beneath her summer dress and her red rubber boots, her brow crinkled in concentration as she runs her nimble fingers up and down the grocery list, you will want to gather her up in your arms.
