The eleventh annual Goose River Anthology, 2013 is a fine collection of the best poetry, fiction, and essays submitted to us from all parts of the United States. There are 90 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. "Sixty years ago there were over 90 magazines that published short fiction. Most of them also published essays and poetry. Today, it is hard to identify a mere dozen that offer an outlet for the short story and few of those offer a regular forum for essays and poetry. However, an outlet for some of the best writers in the country is now offered by such respected annual publications as the Goose River Anthology. The quality of the writing seems to get better with every issue. Get a copy and read it. You'll see what I mean." -Bill Tucker: novelist, memoirist, essayist, disciple of good short fiction, contributor to Goose River Anthology I have had poems published in the Goose River Anthology 2010 and 2011. I was very impressed with both the anthology book and working with Deborah Benner. She was easy to communicate with regarding the acceptance and finalizing the details of my poems. My friends and relatives were very pleased to receive the book as a gift. I think the book cover is very inviting to readers. The anthology has a nice selection of poetry, essays, and short stories from a large number of talented authors. It makes a good read. -Janice Babcock Wauwatosa, WI
