OASIS Journal 2018 is the seventeenth consecutive annual anthology of short fiction, short non-fiction, and poetry by writers over fifty. OASIS Journal showcases the work of older writers nationwide, who have so much to contribute to our literary legacy but are often overlooked because of their age. The authors included here come from widely varied backgrounds, their ages range from early 50's to late 90's, and their tales are both entertaining and compelling in their passion, humor, and diversity.
