Season Unleashed is a new collection of poems from Empty Bowl Press by American Book Award-winning novelist Anna Odessa Linzer. A long-distance, cold-water swimmer, Anna glides through the seasons of her home waters, inviting us to join her in her powerful, deep immersion.
Tanya Holtland is the author of Requisite (Platypus Press, 2020), a finalist for the Broken River Prize and nominated for the Forward Prize for Best First Collection. A graduate of San Francisco State University’s Creative Writing MA program, her essays and other work appear in Poetry Northwest, The Offing, EcoTheo Review, and elsewhere.
Cedar Sigo was raised on the Suquamish Reservation in the Pacific Northwest and studied at The Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at the Naropa Institute. He is the author of eight books and pamphlets of poetry, including Language Arts (Wave Books, 2014), Stranger in Town (City Lights, 2010), Expensive Magic (House Press, 2008), two editions of Selected Writings (Ugly Duckling Presse, 2003 and 2005) and most recently the Bagley Wright Lecture Series book Guard the Mysteries (Wave Books, 2021). He has taught workshops at St. Mary’s College.
