Weekly Roundup - 3/20/23
This week: From the Rest issue, Erik Baker charts the history of the fight for bereavement leave and explores how grief arrests capitalism’s rhythms. Plus, culture editor Claire Schwartz introduces Jameson Fitzpatrick’s poem “Ingénue.”
From the newsletter, contributing editor Joshua Leifer examines the Biden administration’s lackluster response to Israel’s proposed judicial reforms. And from the staff, a curated collection of letters to the editor.

Poetry
Ingénue
“What did the child dream of / back home in the provinces, / with nothing behind but landscape?”
Jameson Fitzpatrick
