Deskripsi

The word "coast" has its origin in Latin: costa, meaning "rib" or side," is an exact aspect of body and so ties the coast anatomically to the body of a territory. Yet, the coast is as much sea as land too, although this duality renders it not richer or denser but surprisingly thinner in both elemental qualities, being neither land nor sea enough. Here is every fertile terrain's natural desert and wasteland, the space where main land finally discovers its edge, its finitude, while dreams of being elsewhere become suddenly tolerable. This anthology is nothing short of a manifesto, a call to stretch out the tent poles of language and go in search of an idiom for making destiny. Coast is a literary experiment that hopes to reflect a variety of creative works from published and unpublished writers across a single title.
