A wish, a stone, a missive
This fall, UNY Founding Editor, Nicki Pombier Berger, was a writing instructor at the New School for Drama. For one exercise, each student wrote a stone, a wish, or a missive. She put their collective notes in a tube and tossed it into the Hudson, where Bank Street meets the river. Who knows where it'll bob to, but now it's on our list, secret weights or hopes or messages the students can return to and write from (or against); and for the rest of us, another object to imagine from.
