I look forward to 2014. -Bob Erickson Round Pond, ME As I began reading the Goose River Anthology, 2013, some words I'd read by Sherry Plummer popped to mind. She'd said something like, "You can travel the world and never leave your chair when you read a book." I sensed that while devouring the latest anthology. I've always followed a simple formula to assess my enjoyment of a book. Basically, I noticed my unwillingness to put an outstanding book down. After nearly a decade of reading and relishing each issue of the Goose River Anthology, I felt compelled to read this 2013 issue from cover to cover. I continually hesitated to put it away. This was truly a magnificent publication. Kudos! -F. Anthony D'Alessandro Celebration, FL

Here's what others had to say about previous editions: The 'Goose River Anthology, 2014' is another edition in what has become a reader expectation of Deborah J.

As with previous anthologies, the 2014 publication provides a delightful mixture of the various genres, and it integrates the fresh and creative work of writers who explore a broad spectrum of themes. Each page renders unique portrayals of phenomena or experiences. As a contributing writer, I am both humbled and honored to be included with an array of such splendid authors. The cover photograph of the 2014 anthology joins several stunning scenes that have graced previous editions. -John T. Hagan, Springboro, OH While the first and last pieces in 'Goose River Anthology, 2014' give readers poignant, affecting visions of the ravages of war, the pages in between wrap one in the elegance of nature, the wonder of human relationships, and the bold memories without which our lives would be hollow. Each poem, essay and short story announces hope in its own unique way. -Bundy H. Boit, Penobscot, ME

"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

Chronicles of Humans with Nature is a follow-up to Still Brooding on a Strong Branch; a pendulum that swings between the memories and experiences of family members and our engagement with the natural world. In this collection there are eighty na-ture and humanistic poems that honor the memory, pay tribute to, and sanctify the lives of loved ones. One of the most central and universal topics for poetry is some aspect of personal sorrow, grief, mourning or another related loss, springing from the central core of the human condition. The poems extend in rivers beyond the loss in terms of their emotional and imaginative range that one hopes will transcend and reverberate in many places. I have tried to create multi-dimensional poems-- broad and deep, models of us humans with nature, as rich as we are in the full world. Poetry writing has taught me to search for all the moments in nature and experiences where life is on the edge, where change is only a heartbeat away. It is the inevitability of change and loss that is the most somber reality of our world.

What does it mean to build a house? How can it change a life? What happens if the builder is a woman, a teacher and a writer, a woman unaccustomed to tools? How does such a woman come to build at all? What happens, then, if that first house, whose every nail is known, is sold? How does one leave such a house, leave and go on to build another? This is a building story, but more it is a story of a woman builder and those without whom she could not have built. It is about how building changed not only that woman but also her sense of what a house is, how she came to know that building houses of wood builds the house of the spirit.
