“What is coming, every trauma, every joy, every sorrow, every mundane event, is continually slipping away into its goneness. And in the goneness lies a residual grief.” @MandiraPattnaik interviews writer/artist Koss for a wide-ranging conversation trampset.org/post/macro-mind…

Here in the falling season, we revel. So do the spirit-folk, and they're friendly. They say, "What's got you looking, my good wight?" "Gone Lawn 67!" we say, "it's up, it's up!" "Well, I'll be! May we join you?" they ask. And of course we say, Yes. gonelawn.net/journal/issue67…

So I can finally share the news that my story “The Stamp Shop” received a “Highly Commended” place in the Bridport Prize 2026, putting me into the final dozen of the anthology. (first two pages in first comment). Like I said, this is a story which got rejected over 20 times. Many thanks to all those people who supported me. @BridportPrize . bridportprize.org.uk/results…
