To Remember is Not Enough: A Post-Hampshire Anthology will be an interdisciplinary multi-medium online publication of works by the Hampshire College community: alumnae, workers, faculty, and anyone else who is or was connected to Hampshire College. It is being organized and edited by alumnae of The Omen, Hampshire College's longest continuously running student publication.

What We Are Looking For

We invite memories, good and bad. We want everything from love poems for the llamas to critical dissections of what lead to Hampshire closing. Architecture appreciation and illustrations of the mold in your Greenwich bathroom. We want excerpts from your Div III and photos of mod parties. Memoirs of falling in love in the Dakin quad, and rigorous data-driven surveys on how many alumnae are on the autism spectrum. A comprehensive retrospective of the James Baldwin program, and stories of the SAGA unionization drive from a worker's perspective. Oral histories of campus folklore, and fictional horror stories about the ghosts in the haunted recording studio. Recordings of your stage play, and recordings of you playing Deathfest. We want your songs, essays, photos, comics, movies, and tabletop role playing games. We are accepting any discipline, genre, or medium that we can figure out how to publish.

What was it like to teach at Hampshire? What was it like to work for Hampshire? What was it like to drop out and secretly audit classes while not enrolled and sleeping in the woods? (We know at least one of you did this.)

But, to remember Hampshire is not enough. We also want to know how Hampshire impacted your life after Hampshire, and the impact you've made because of Hampshire. What did you learn from Hampshire, and how did you apply it? What lessons can we take from where Hampshire succeeded, and where it failed?

When something decomposes, it creates rich fertile soil. What are we planting in the soil that Hampshire leaves behind?
