For National Poetry Month, a look at Amanda Gorman — twenty-three, the first National Youth Poet Laureate, and already changing what a poem can do in public.

A physician of thirty years on why she turned a broken healthcare system into a novel, and why a story lands where an argument does not.
'Tis the season for wearing hats
Four nonfiction titles for the four people on your list you have no idea what to buy for. Plus a recommendation for a good hat.

Self, hybrid, traditional. What each one costs you, what each one pays you, and who ends up owning the book at the end of it.
Every little day
Three deaths in three months, and the year that turned into. On buying a publishing house in the middle of grief, and the flowers that came after the rain.

gets you so far.
