Since 2003, Lake—the Laguna Writers journal— has proudly published participants’ writing. The pieces in Lake were written during timed free writes, and most of the pieces are only slightly edited.

This issue (our seventh) is a bit different: it contains writing from the first two years of the Covid-19 pandemic, from March 2020—March 2022. The majority of these pieces were generated in online writing workshops during the long, isolating months of “shelter in place.” It is our contribution to the record of this time.
