"Write fiction not to escape reality, but to confront it, to rewrite the language of power itself. Because the child in Gaza and George Floyd, they are still speaking. And if we listen carefully, they might yet teach us how to breathe.”" - Ahmad M. Elkhuwaja via @coastallinespress.com 🇵🇸 #zines
Highlights from ZLUC 2025
Coastal Lines Press was a morning presenter on Day 2. The community of zine librarians was very welcoming and responsive. Thank you ZLUC organizers for providing this community-building opportunity.

“These vivid and expressive poems show such a scope of humanity, from despair, to hope, the desire for liberation, and the desire to simply disappear. I felt so many things reading these poems, and I am honored to have been a part of this project.” — Ken Tanaka, illustrator of Aerie Tales

When asked why she writes, Sondos replied:
"Writing is a reflection of the soul--a mirror for yours, for theirs, and for mine. I always repeat the words, 'The bullet that doesn't kill me, it gives me life again!' From this truth, I begin new chapters of writing in my life."

“Jehad Abu Dayya's sharp writing and Esraa Al-Banna's bracing illustration provide an urgent dispatch of grief and steadfastness from the worst horror imaginable. The work of these two artists is a gift — one the world does not yet deserve, but I hope can one day earn.” — Michael DeForge
