River Road: The Anthology, Volume One celebrates nine remarkable years (2014-2023) of the River Road Reading Series (RRRS) in Eugene, Oregon-a beloved monthly literary gathering that brought together some of the Pacific Northwest's most gifted poets, fiction writers, essayists, and storytellers. Edited by Amanda Powell, Dianne Dugaw, Erica Goss, and Joan Dobbie of the Emerald Literary Guild, this first volume gathers original work from contributors whose first names begin with A through J. An abundant diversity of genres fills these pages: formal and free verse poetry, song, memoir, fiction, hybrid forms, and essay. Themes span love and loss, nature and the environment, social conscience and political outrage, queer experience, homelessness, transcendence, and the everyday. Contributors include Oregon Book Award winner Andrea Hollander, Ruth Bantam Award winner Emmett Wheatfall, Professor Emerita Frances Payne Adler, Oregon Literary Fellow Evan Morgan Williams, and award-winning poets Eleanor Berry, Charles Goodrich, Carolyne Wright, Erica Goss, Dale Champlin, Chris Ransick, and many more distinguished Pacific Northwest voices.
