Six Word Memoirs

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010

It’s a Leonard Lopate Show listener contest! Can you sum up your life in six words? A concise and pithy sentence can tell an entire life story. Try it. Here are a few examples:

"Found My Ex-Husband on Craigslist. Twice" –Yin Shin

"Manhattan presents countless options. It’s problematic" – John Godfrey

"Lazy mornings
Sunday Times
Then: Kids" – Marisa de los Santos

The editors of Smith Magazine Rachel Fershleiser and Larry Smith join us to announce the winners of this week's contest.
