The Writing Prompt
One of the most beloved sections of the previous Bennington Magazine included alumni-written pieces produced in response to a prompt. We would like to keep this tradition.
Cora Cohen ’64 passed away in June 2023. In an entry on her website dated 2022, she wrote about how the COVID-19 pandemic inspired her to go back to unfinished paintings and drawings.
“My sense that life was not infinite, and that what I had not finished might never get finished unless I finished it right away, took over,” she wrote. “Because they had been begun at different periods, I saw them as bridges between past and present, between the past and a radically uncertain future.”
In honor of Cohen, we ask, what has spurred you to finish the unfinished?
