like a coastline, truth shifts with each wave. what documentary poetics reveals is not a fixed shoreline but the constant movement between what's submerged and what breaks the surface - between official record and lived experience, between what reportage captures and what it leaves beneath the waterline.
coastlines erode. what once seemed permanent disappears into the water, while new land emerges elsewhere. the documents we trust - records, photographs, testimonies - are subject to the same forces: decay, revision, reinterpretation.
coastlines review publishes poetry and hybrid work that engages with documentary materials, archival fragments, found language, preserved histories, and the question of what gets recorded and what gets erased. we're interested in work that understands truth as layered, shifting, and subject to erosion and revelation.
