The essay by Duncan Robertson, one of the founding editors of Panel and a writer himself, was published in the issue #1 of Panel (March, 2018). In this witty, masterfully written, deeply personal piece Duncan explores the phenomenon of being a long-term traveler. "The absence of friends and family
is less often experienced in stabs of
homesickness, and more commonly
experienced for what it is, an absence". Duncan Robertson was born and raised in Seattle, WA. He has
lived and worked in Portland, OR; Suwon, in South Korea, and
Prague. He now resides in Budapest, where he writes fiction, edits Panel and is actively involved in local artistic and literary scene.
