Cascadia Rising Review

This project is believed to be defunct. (December 2020)

About

Cascadia Rising was the name given to a regional emergency preparedness exercise in the Pacific Northwest that was utilized to coordinate and plan agency response to a major earthquake on the Cascadia Subduction Zone (“The big one,” as it’s called). It’s also the name given to this literary journal. The Pacific Northwest lives in the wake of earthquakes that destroyed whole civilizations, gargantuan floods and volcanic eruptions that irrevocably changed the geography of the west. We exist on the precipice of new catastrophes, knowing that it’s coming but barreling stubbornly into the future anyway. The Pacific Northwest is a land of pioneers, whether we crossed a nation, ocean or land bridge. We've built our homes and communities from a special kind of wildness, deliberation and beauty. That's the kind of writing we're looking for here at Cascadia Rising Review. We want writing that pioneers. We want writing about chasing horizons and looking into the precipice of disaster with a sneer. We want writing that captures the truth of the Pacific Northwest.
