Writing Home is a moving, lyrical portrait of both family betrayal and family love and the healing power of place and nature.The event will begin at 6:00 p.m. in the Stuart T. Rolfe room in Seattle University’s Admissions and Alumni building. It is hosted by the Seattle University Philosophy Department.

A new book by longtime Empty Bowl publisher Michael Daley, Ground Work, was released by Ravenna Press in October.

Empty Bowl Press and the award-winning anthology I Sing the Salmon Home were recently featured by the Community of Literary Magazines and Presses (CLMP) in a spotlight of independent publishers in the Pacific Northwest.

We were surprised and deeply grateful to have received one of fifty awards given by Humanities WA this year in celebration of their fiftieth anniversary, acknowledging Empty Bowl’s five-decade-long contribution to the humanities. We were especially moved by the words of our nominators: “The people of Washington State are fortunate to have a publisher like this, which originated as a quixotic idea from a bunch of muddy tree planters, but which has become a literary press of unique and diverse voices connecting the Pacific Northwest to the world, and vice versa.” We’re honored to be in good company with forty-nine others, including two of our Empty Bowl authors, Shin Yu Pai and Kate Reavey!
