Not everything interesting arrives as news. Some things become interesting because we stay with them.

The familiar,
seen again.

Five essays about a chair, a bowl, a notebook, an unfinished afternoon and the space between tasks. An invitation to look again at what is already close by.

A page that
can be untidy.

A notebook becomes useful when we stop asking every page to be worth keeping. A short essay on first pages, mixed notes and temporary usefulness.

Something
caught your eye?

Perhaps an essay reminded you of a favourite object or a room you once knew. Put the thought into a letter to the editors.
