LIVE writing

Life-Writing of Immeasurable Events (LIVE for short) ran from the start of the pandemic in 2020 until mid-2021. The project encouraged people to share what they are doing, feeling, and experiencing in these strange times, through life-writing. Submissions were sent in response to prompts, and the pieces published below include anecdotes, poems, journal or diary entries, essays, and other forms of life-writing.
