Co-presented by the SEATTLE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL FOR THEOLOGY AND MINISTRY, ELLIOTT BAY BOOK COMPANY, and the SEATTLE UNIVERSITY BOOKSTORE. Keynote speakers Mary Oliver, poet and author, most recently of Swan: Poems and Prose Poems (Beacon); and Fr. James Martin, Chaplain to Steven Colbert of The Colbert Report, and author of A Jesuit's Guide to Almost Anything (HarperOne), are joined by over forty authors speaking and leading conversations on spirituality, faith, social justice, and ethical issues at this year's Search For Meaning Book Festival—now in its fourth year. The list of authors is evolving, but as of this writing include Rebecca Walker, Linda Cohen, David Guterson, Susan Rich, Michael Lisagor, Becky Selengut, George Estreich, Frances McCue, and many more. Elliott Bay will be on hand with a wide selection of books by both the speakers and related topics. Not to be missed. Pre-register now to receive information about event tickets. The event is free but seating is limited and pre-registration is strongly recommended. Some speakers' venues will be at capacity.
