    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Keep the Windows Wide: I Blame the Quarantine]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Keep the Window Wide: I Blame the Quarantine is a project that I began the moment classes at Rhode Island College were shifted to online learning March, 2020. I&#039;m an English professor at RIC, and I teach creative writing. I wanted to be sure not to &quot;lose&quot; my students, most of whom were creative writers, so I immediately sent them an optional assignment: Write a 300 word story, fiction or nonfiction, with the first or last line as &quot;I blame the quarantine.&quot; I added, &quot;Share this with whomever you want and have them send it to me.&quot; It grew. I got over a hundred submissions from around the globe -- as far as Spain and Mexico and the Netherlands. Teachers in public and private schools used the assignment. Submissions came in from folks as young as 8 and as old as 80, rural and urban.  <br />
<br />
In the summer of 2020, I created a blog site, selecting, curating, and framing the submissions. I kept it going  for as long as I could before I had to turn back to getting my fall courses online for the remote year. The voices in the Keep the Windows Wide: I Blame the Quarantine are the voices from the trenches.  The stories were written in real-time, and this, I think, makes them especially important historical record. ]]></dcterms:description>
