In conceptualizing this project, we felt we had two options: we could either solicit work from all of our friends (roomates) and try to find a common theme, or we could seek out writing from an isolated group of people. We chose the latter. Our informal literary "cooperative" is the writing of the staff and volunteers at the Willimantic Food Co-op.
Why online? We chose to use a blog format for a few different reasons. One, while we both very much appreciate concrete forms of writing, this is our attempt at following the increasingly online literary trend. Also, we felt that a blog format would be easily accessible to those outside of our class. Lastly, it provides an opportunity for an ongoing venue for this type of writing. Our hope is that Co-op staff and volunteers will continue adding to this blog.
We hope you enjoy the various stories, nonfiction pieces, and poems!
Kenzi and Annie
