Drash: Northwest Mosaic is a new literary review filled with poetry, prose and photos encouraging the redemptive nature of life from Jewish and other perspectives. Jews have always valued the written word and its revelatory nature. Our Torah, filled with human trials and triumphs, contains stories that serve as lessons, inspiration and warning. The scrolls delineate man’s relationships to the spiritual and natural world.
In every time and place, there is commentary to help us understand our worlds – Jewish and non-Jewish, spiritual and secular. We have created a literary review, Drash: Northwest Mosaic, a vehicle for writers, poets, photographers and artists, using Jewish, Northwest and universal themes, to comment on the world, to illuminate and provide connection in our Jewish lives, and to educate and entertain both Jews and non-Jews.
Funding for Drash: Northwest Mosaic comes from the Alfred and Tillie Shemanski Trust Fund, Temple Beth Am, Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle, and from generous individuals and people who purchase the review. Wendy Marcus serves as editor. Robin Asher is the review’s graphic designer. Prose and poetry review committees read all submissions blind.
We are seeking unpublished poetry (3 poems max) and/or essays and prose (under 5,000 words) on Jewish and Northwest themes from established and emerging writers for the next issue of Drash.
Include separate page with contact information and short bio. Prose must be double-spaced. No names or email addresses on manuscripts.

Acceptances and rejections will be emailed by the end of January 2012. No SASE necessary.
