Gival Press

Gival Press Gival Press, LLC, an award-winning independent literary publishing house located in Arlington, Virginia, publishes fiction, non-fiction, and poetry.

To promote writing, Gival Press sponsors four contests for fiction and poetry; see website for details. Gival Press is committed to publishing fine literary works which provoke the reader to contemplate. Because we cannot publish all the manuscripts which come our way, we began an online journal: www.ArLiJo.com to feature the works of authors and poets as well as artists.

It's with great sorrow that I report the loss of one of our authors: Cliff Bernier (winner of the Gival Press Poetry Award, "The Silent Art"). His wife let me know that he passed away with family nearby yesterday morning.
Not only was he a good poet but he also was a good musician.
Rest in Peace, Cliff.
