Goats are grumpy and unpredictable. Strong-willed and cantankerous. They chew through armoured cables, slip under fences and, inexplicably, end up on rooftops. Nonetheless, goats uphold their own definition of grace. They can stand for many hours on the side of a mountain, sure footed amongst the boulders and scree, their gaze trained on the sun setting behind some distant hill. Goats are loyal, yet fiercely independent. You can tell each goat apart by the way it lifts its chin to face the oncoming wind.

The Goatshed is shelter and communion; a meeting place for travellers; a shared vision and a melding of minds. It is for people who believe in Art as Play, as the domain of the trickster, a space not defined by duty, but the crackle of possibility. At Goatshed Press we aim to deliver exciting, unpretentious content, while discovering and uplifting a new generation of writers and artists.
