You've Lost It
b'Host Meg Wolitzer presents three pieces about losing things: objects, opportunities, a primary sense, a new friendship. In \\u201cAny Other\\u201d by Jac Jemc, performed by Helen Hong, a woman rejects an offer without knowing the consequences. Namwali Serpell\\u2019s \\u201cNoseless\\u201d is about a loss many experienced during the pandemic; it\\u2019s performed by Kyrstina Alabado, Deborah S. Craig, Zach Grenier, and Calvin Leon Smith. And Lauren Groff\\u2019s \\u201cSuch Small Islands\\u201d charts the perilous course of a childhood infatuation and betrayal that ends with figurative loss and a literal disappearance. It\\u2019s performed by Crystal Dickinson. In a special bonus: multi-instrumentalist Laura Gibson performs a song inspired by Groff\\u2019s story.'
