Goose River Anthology, 2020

The eighteenth annual Goose River Anthology, 2020 is a fine collection of the best poetry, fiction, and essays submitted to us from all parts of the United States. There are over 80 talented authors represented in this volume. Many are seasoned writers while some are being published for the first time. Don't miss your chance to experience this rare treasure.




Essays and articles published in Goose River Press anthologies are uplifting. Talented writers fill each edition in the series with diverse contributions consisting of lovely poetry, entertaining fiction, non-fiction, special shorts about travel and creative personal experiences. My collection of the excellent anthologies fills a featured shelf in my office bookcase.

I have had the very real pleasure of being self and traditionally published through the Goose River Press with both poetry and short-story collections. Most gratifying and humbling for me, however, is having my short stories, essays, and poems published alongside a host of consummately gifted writers in the Goose River Anthologies. Debbie Benner is a no-nonsense yet sensitive editor.
