This Light Called Darkness, A Raven Chronicles Anthology, Selected Work 1997-2005-edited by Kathleen Alcalá, Phoebe Bosché, Paul Hunter, and Anna Odessa Linzer-is the second anthology in the Raven Chronicles Press series featuring some of the outstanding work that appeared in Raven Chronicles Magazine-a nonprofit, independent publishing and cultural organization, based in Seattle, that soared for twenty-seven years, 1991 to 2018. Through forty-eight issues in twenty-six magazine-format volumes, Raven brought together flocks of writers in the Pacific Northwest / Salish Sea region and beyond, for readings, workshops, cultural celebrations, and the occasional march or demonstration.
This anthology includes poems, essays, fiction, interviews, and storytelling from 85 writers who were published in Raven Chronicles Magazine from Summer 1997-Winter, 2005, and the artwork of 34 mostly Northwest artists.
