Caught by the River

Caught by the River – a pleasingly slippery concept best defined when Robert Macfarlane described it as "a true confluence of currents" – began as an idea, a vision and a daydream shared between friends one languid bankside spring afternoon.

Now in its fifteenth year, Caught by the River is ever-morphing, widening its tastes and pool of contributors. The site – and its various offshoots, including gigs, festival stages and the Rivertones record label – host work in many forms and flavours, be it of a musical, poetic, creative non-fictional, photographic or illustrative description, or otherwise. 

You can support our work by either buying from our new webshop (https://caught-by-the-river.myshopify.com) or our affiliate page here on Bookshop.org, where we'll list site-featured titles and recommendations that aren't stocked in our main shop.
