The Raven Chronicles Press
Raven Chronicles, a Seattle-based literary magazine and organization, began in 1991, when Kathleen Alcalá and Philip H. Red Eagle guest-edited several King County Arts Commission Newsletters. They recognized the lack of diverse, multicultural writing being published in Seattle and the Northwest region in general. The result of this collaboration has been a magazine that strives to reflect several sides of each topic, like a many-faceted bauble held up to the light by Raven.

The Raven Chronicles, a Seattle-based literary magazine and organization, began in 1991, when Kathleen Alcalá and Philip H. Red Eagle guest-edited several King County Arts Commission Newsletters. They recognized the lack of diverse, multicultural writing being published in Seattle and the Northwest region in general. Phil knew Phoebe Bosché through Red Sky Poetry Theatre, where she edited SkyViews and other Red Sky Press Publications, and asked her to join in this new endeavor. She has served as Managing Editor ever since. The result of this collaboration has been a magazine that strives to reflect several sides of each topic, like a many-faceted bauble held up to the light by Raven.
We chose the name Raven because—as we learned from Upper Skagit storyteller Vi Hilbert (now deceased)—in northern Northwest Coast mythology, Raven is a powerful figure who transforms the world, by accident or on purpose. He is also a trickster, a shape-shifter who is mischievous, often selfish, but brings light to the world. We added Chronicles because the magazine is a record of time and events passing and changing, chronos, and us with it.
