"There is something about the written word that makes people feel comfortable putting parts of themselves out there that might not come out in small talk or in a conversation in a normal busy summer. Especially with the Village being a safe and intimate community, as we have all gone through the pandemic together. There has been a sense that you can put things out there and know that they will be held and the Q.Q. is a great space for that."
Becca Carcaterra lives at Holden Village and serves on the Human Resources team. She graduated from St. Olaf college with a degree in English. In March, she started the Quarantine Quarterly, a Village newsletter. Now on day 172, the daily publication continues to create community even while Villagers practice social distancing during the pandemic.
