Subject: the lost Lost text

the lost Lost text The main text from the Lost Project created for the trAce online writing community; visitors to the site were asked to enter their email address and then describe something they lost. On "playback" the list of email addresses was separated from the list of the lost; in other words, the tether was broken. The text of what was lost is a form of literature itself; it had disappeared in my files until now. What was lost is now found, what is found can never be recuperated. I think the Lost Project is still located at the trAce archives; trAce ended as a community headed by Sue Thomas, a few years ago. The project was created around 1999-2000, when I was trAce's second virtual writer-in-residence. Please check out the text; it's oddly beautiful, the result of so many minds. http://www.alansondheim.org/lost.txt The trAce Lost Project and others http://tracearchive.ntu.ac.uk/writers/sondheim/index.htm I want to thank again everyone who made this possible at the time.
