Lots of businesses say “thank you” this time of year — and so will I. Very sincerely.
Circling Rivers’ list of titles is small and careful. We give our books, and our writers, the best we’ve got. We know that a book, crafted in words from its writer’s heart, offers wisdom, good company, and appreciation of life in all its manifestations.
We are deeply grateful for your support and interest, for ours is truly a reader by reader endeavor. May joyful and profound hours of reading wait in abundance ahead of you.
With best wishes,
Jean
Publisher, Circling Rivers

We are happy and honored to welcome poet Bernard Horn to Circling Rivers. Bernie’s debut collection will be published by CR in Fall 2020. Bernie describes his collection as one in which “poems about family function as vertebrae. The subject matter begins with reflections about my parents and moves outwards towards politics, history, and ethics, with an undercurrent of the Book of Job.”
Upcoming: Nina Murray, at the Virginia Festival of the Book, in Charlottesville, VA, March 18–22, 2020 | Jean Huets and Nina Murray at Brew-ho-ho, December 15, the fabulous Chop Suey Books book fair, in Richmond, VA. More info to come at our Events page.
