River Road: The Anthology is a two-volume collection gathering the work of 146 writers who were featured at the River Road Reading Series, a literary series that ran from 2014 to 2023 in Eugene, Oregon. Co-edited by Amanda Powell, Dianne Dugaw, Erica Goss, and Joan Dobbie, it preserves a decade of readings — poetry, memoir, fiction, and hybrid work — from established and emerging Pacific Northwest voices.
One of the most important anthologies of the century… the local and regional and national writers, living and dead, who appeared in your reading series over the past decade and more.
