Featured Girls Write Now Story
A Suitcase of Lost Things
By Mentee Jessica Jiang and Mentor Kelly Moffitt
"A Suitcase of Lost Things is a multi-genre (and multimedia!) wonder. The hybrid work moves through fragments separated by white space, each unique, brief story carrying its own weight and silence. The project is a thoughtful response to physical distance (and perhaps loneliness), and in the final titular fragment, Jiang reassures us about navigating the (un)familiar: "In a suitcase of lost things…she is found in the reflection of the city." —Lauren Y, Editorial Intern
