Hi! My name is Alicia Kenworthy — I’m a writer living in Washington D.C., and this is Catalectic, a Substack borne from a love for literature and an easily distractible mind. On other corners of the internet, you may recognize me as either a once-upon-a-time reality TV talent or outspoken advocate for criminal justice reform.
The broad theme for this newsletter is “thoughts inspired by things I’ve read” — literary fiction, mostly — a theme I hope leaves room for both critique and commentary as well as neither-here-nor-there digressions, personal essays, anecdotes and stories.
The vast majority of posts on this Substack will be public — I don’t know what to do with the pressure of a paywall! If you do take out a paid subscription, think of it like you would a donation to NPR. Financial support gives me the focus I need to bring this newsletter to life at a regular cadence.
And if you engage in the comments, share this page with someone who might enjoy it, or reply to an email just to say “hi”?
Even better.
Snuggling up to your inbox will always be the greatest gift.
