Now & Then
Part of Lost & Found's mission has been to connect younger scholars and researchers to the work and person of elders whose artistic world they inherit. Lost & Found Now & Then adds a new facet to the prism we are constructing, a place for tribute and immediate response, as and when necessary.
Mouth to Word
Building on Lost & Found’s working motto, “follow the person,” our new series, Mouth to Word, starts with encounters between our editors and people whose archives they have worked on and expands on those experiences through the form of transcribed interviews, while including newly researched archival materials.
People
Lost & Found chapbooks are edited by students and fellows at the Graduate Center, CUNY, under the guidance of an extended scholarly community.
