It's Here! The fifth volume of our Northwest literary review filled with poetry, prose and photos encouraging the redemptive nature of life from Jewish, Northwest and other perspectives.
Poets and writers please put the December 15 deadline on your calendars for submission to Volume VI of Drash: Northwest Mosaic. Remember, only hard copy is accepted. The lovely folks of West Sound Hadassah in collaboration with Congregation Kol Shalom on Bainbridge Island are doing a Drash/Polyglot reading at 3pm on Sunday, October 30. Tell your friends on Bainbridge or if you’d like an excuse for a ferry ride, come join us. The reading is open to the public and the shul is about 15 minutes from the ferry landing through lovely countryside.
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We are seeking unpublished poetry (3 poems max) and/or essays and prose (under 5,000 words) on Jewish and Northwest themes from established and emerging writers for the next issue of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: Northwest Mosaic.
Include separate page with contact information and short bio. Prose must be double-spaced. No names or email addresses on manuscripts.
Reading period is September 1 through December 15. Acceptances and rejections will be emailed no later than the third week in January 2012. No SASE necessary. Contributors receive 2 free copies of the volume in which they are published and discounted copies subsequently. Subscriptions to Drash are $11.
