How We Spend Our Days: On Wintering and the Value of Giving and Taking Care
Though she wrote it before the pandemic, Katherine May’s Wintering is very much about the way that a season—a literal or figurative winter—often requires from us a kind of intensified awareness of our connection to the elements in the world around us as time passes.

On Teaching and Learning the Language of Care
I met Sarah, the woman I shared a classroom with during my first four years teaching high school English, on a late August morning when only staff were in the building. I’d just been hired, handed my class rosters, given a key to the faculty bathroom, and was being shown the corner of a classroom, then occupied by a wooden lectern, where my desk would soon go.
Sweet Yet Sinister: How the Stroller Embodies Parental Hopes and Fears
My first ideal of motherhood, before Bringing Up Bébé or the phrase “attachment parenting” or the ascription of maternal devotion to months of breastfeeding completed, came from the framed print of Mary Cassatt’s Mother and Child on a Green Background hanging in my childhood bedroom. I’d chosen the print from the Musee D’Orsay when my mom and I visited just before my brother was born.
