Untitled Thought Project is Catherine Lacey’s untitled project of thought.

Here’s a photo of Annemarie Schwarzenbach and a very good dog.

There are three types of posts here:

1. 144-word essays. Those are public, but auto-paywall after a few weeks.

2. Longer, rambling personal(ish) essays about this or that. Sometimes I paywall those essays because I like small groups when it’s something that means a lot to me.

3. And the newest (so new!) series is called Public Letter Project. In this series, I’m asking anyone to write me a letter (send to: aletterfromcatherine@gmail.com) and I’ll write you back. Doesn’t need to be advice. I just want to think out loud with you about whatever you’re thinking about.

In the first few months of 2023 I was writing a series about things that strangers had lost and those essays are archived for the paying subscribers.

The sculpture of the person with long arms in my avatar is by the incomparable Kiki Smith.
