Each year, the Bear River Writers’ Conference publishes the Bear River Review, a collection of writing by former conference attendees. The Review allows us to showcase the work of our talented participants and offers an opportunity for them to share their writing with family, friends, and one another in a carefully assembled book.
What wondrous contributions—of verses, of stories, of essays—follow in these pages! Thanks to the writers who made this anthology possible, to the readers picking it up now, and to everyone who feels, as Whitman felt, that even the worst of days might be met with curiosity and imagination. We’re glad you’re here. We greet you at all points of your great careers.
