Inspired by the Elizabeth Bishop poem "One Art" that reads, "The art of losing isn't hard to master; so many things seem filled with the intent to be lost that their loss seems no disaster," this website catalogues all manner of things lost over a lifetime, from one's nerve to the ability to make a respectable fist. Anyone can submit and many are elegant confessions that are either heartbreakingly funny or just heartbreaking. (Laura Trethewey)
