Vagabond Vs. The World. Runner-Up in The Posthumous Author Challenge.
Vagabond, better known to his peers and family as Dreion Allen, died as unremarkably as he lived. His life was punctuated not with an exclamation point, but ellipsis. As an author there always seemed as if there was going to be more: something big we were all waiting for, the summation of his potential, or at least one great pivotal work of art. In line with Allen’s chosen moniker, it seems he never really stuck to one genre, no particular topic, or medium of writing. Instead, he seemed to meander through the literary world erecting strange structures of words consisting of whatever thoughts and emotions he felt at the moment. That enigma is perhaps what has led many of us to revisit his works in search of something we may have missed.

The Stewart Paradox
"I always try to be sincere. That I actually do put effort into the madness. That I want to connect with people and every time someone says "that resonates" or "howthefuckdidyoucomeupwiththat," it makes me feel a bit warm. I dunno...yeah. That I care. " — Paul Stewart, Center Stage with Paul Stewart: A Creators in the Limelight Series, Heather Hubler (2023)

Stinky Wuz Here . Top Story - July 2026.
Mainstream critics generally shy away from offering critiques of works in the realm of the children’s comic. Although the graphic novel has gained broader acceptance over time, there still exist the more “puerile” forms of the art which remain a guilty and uncommented on form of pleasure for so-called “serious” readers.

[EDITOR A's opening line, retained despite objections from Editors B, C, and D]: Mark Lim was, depending on which decade of scholarship you trust, either the last honest tradesman of the content internet or its most successful ghost.

No More Pixie Dust. Top Story - July 2026.
Fuck you, Peter!! I am tired of living in your shadow so you can be the “brave” man-child for the Lost Boys. I probably wouldn’t mind so much if the loyalty I have shown you were ever reciprocated, but it’s not. You spend days at Mermaid Lagoon with those sexy sirens in their skimpy bikini tops. And though you say you have no romantic feelings for Tiger Lily, you never distance yourself when she’s flirting with you.

Explication of Paul Stewart's Poem, "Ledger". Top Story - July 2026.
T.S. Eliot said that a deep understanding of poetry requires effort. It’s not just about passively taking it in. Stewart’s first line reads, “It’s not my job or my commission to make you feel at ease when you turn the page in my ledger.” Criticism, therefore, done well, is inseparable from appreciation. I have a strong desire to appreciate Paul Stewart’s poem “Ledger.” But I also know that something is often lost in explaining it. As Robert Frost once noted, "Poetry is what gets lost in translation." So, I will do my best to pull something from a reading of Stewart’s poem, even though there will be things lost.

The Man Who Wrote Everything: On Mark Lim and the Impossible Archive
There is a peculiar frustration in trying to canonize a writer who left behind too much. Mark Lim did not die with a slim, carefully curated body of work that scholars could hold in one hand and turn over like a stone. He died with an archive.

A Troubled Mind Translated into Words
A troubled mind translated into words is how one critic described Calvin London. Another referred to him as having Van Gogh syndrome. Vincent Willem van Gogh was a Dutch Impressionist artist. He created over 2,000 works in his lifetime. He sold only one painting in his lifetime and gained fame only after his death.
