BOOKS: PICK OF THE WEEK
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Barbican Music Library, London EC2
Members of the RSC will this afternoon read poems by Gerard Manley Hopkins, a 19th-century poet with 20th-century stylistic sensibilities, who also embraced the rhythmical licence of Old English and the religious energy of the 17th-century poets such as George Herbert. A fine chance to hear Hopkins's "sprung rhythm" metered out by the professionals.
Barbican Music Library, Silk Street, London EC2 (0171-638 8891) today, 4.30pm, free
