The Nervous Breakdown: The Apparent Insanity of Ambition, or How I Started An Indie Press
"We named the new baby Dark Coast Press, after a line in Ezra Pound's First Canto ('Elpenor, how art thou come to this dark coast? Cam'st thou afoot, outstripping seamen?' And he in heavy speech: 'Ill fate and abundant wine!') Yes, we knew he was talking about Africa. But Seattle made quite a good stand-in for one shadowy coast for another. We set out under the banner of literary fiction, fiction, poetry, essays, and experimental works. But our list will most certainly include every genre under the sun as we continue to grow. Simply put: we publish books that we like, period." [. . .]

Shelf Awareness: Dark Coast Press Lights Up Seattle
"When Aaron Talwar left a job in academic publishing and decided to launch Dark Coast Press, he changed more than his career path.
