About Lost & Found
We publish unexpected, genre-bending works by important 20th century writers. Unearthed from personal and institutional archives in the United States and abroad, these unique projects are edited by doctoral students at the CUNY Graduate Center and published by the Center for the Humanities. Aimed at a general readership, these chapbooks expose and provoke new archival research and connections.
