Review # 1 was written on 2011-03-23 00:00:00 John Mcdonnell An anniversary anthology that consists of writings from returning New Rivers Press authors, celebrating the history of the press and its breadth of product with the kaleidoscope of unpublished writing consisting of prose, poetry, and short story. The introduction by David Haynes, author of two award winning New Rivers Press books, gives a look into the personality and heart of the press and is followed by the founder, C.W. Truesdale's, account of the press' beginning. The pages that follow take one to places from Katmandu to the American South; Grandpa's birdfeeder, to dark hospital wards; visiting Hayden in the 20th century as he rides in the back of a car, to a disturbingly humorous encounter with vulgar preschoolers. The multiplicity in this anthology is profound and representative of New Rivers thirty year's publishing.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-05-25 00:00:00 Dave Stephens It's wonderful to pick up a book of older poems and find Stephen Spender and Randall Jarell, etc.
