Dear Empty Bowl friends,
We’ll be celebrating the release of Anna Odessa Linzer’s collection of poems Season Unleashed with a launch party and reading April 19 at 7 p.m. at the Pope Marine Building on the waterfront in Port Townsend. Delicious refreshments will be served and books will be available for signing. Join us if you can! Anna will also be reading on June 30 at Wilderbee Farm with Poetry on the Salish Sea— keep checking the Empty Bowl website for other readings as they’re scheduled.
In May, we’ll be releasing Memory’s Vault: The Poetic Heart of Port Townsend, with a presentation by artist Richard Turner and readings by local writers on Saturday May 18 at 7 p.m. at the Friends Meeting House in Port Townsend. On Sunday, May 19, join us for a walk to Memory’s Vault with the artist, where the editor and local poets will read from Sam Hamill’s poems. We’ll gather at Fort Worden State Park at 2:30 p.m. at the South Gallery of the Centrum Building (#305), with the walk beginning at 3 p.m., followed by a reception and book signing with the artist and contributors.
Last month, we had a lively night at Town Hall in Seattle with the Bushwick Book Club performing music inspired by I Sing the Salmon Home, edited by Rena Priest. We’re grateful that several contributors were able to join us that night, some driving down from Bellingham, and that the evening was recorded. You can listen to it here.
Finally, a reminder that you just have a few more weeks to submit a poem to the next issue of The Madrona Project being edited by Michael Daley, with a theme of “machines.” Check the Empty Bowl website for more details; deadline is April 30.
Thanks again for supporting Empty Bowl Press—and remember, you can also find news on the Empty Bowl Facebook page, where we try to keep up with our authors and their events.
We hope to see you soon.
Warm wishes,
Holly and John
