Outside \u003ci\u003eThe Catholic Worker\u003c\/i\u003e (which she edited from 1933 to her death), Day wrote for no other publication so often and over such an extended period - covering six decades - as the independent Catholic journal of opinion, \u003ci\u003eCommonweal.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGathered here for the first time are Day's complete Commonweal pieces, including articles, reviews, and published letters-to-the-editor. They range from the personal to the polemical; from youthful enthusiasm to the gratitude of an aged warrior; sketches from works in progress; portraits of prisoners and dissidents; and a gifted reporter's dispatches from the flash points of mid-twentieth-century social and economic conflict. Day's writing offers readers not only an overview of her fascinating life but a compendium of her prophetic insights, spiritual depth, and unforgettable prose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapters are *The Brother and the Rooster, - *Guadalupe, - *Letter From Mexico City, - *Spring Festival in Mexico, - *Bed, - *Now We Are Home Again, - *Notes From Florida, - *East Twelfth Street, - *Review: \u003ci\u003eSaint Elizabeth\u003c\/i\u003e by Elizabeth von Schmidt-Pali, - *Real Revolutionists, - *Review: \u003ci\u003eThe Catholic Anthology\u003c\/i\u003e by Thomas Walsh, - *For the Truly Poor, - *Saint John of the Cross, - *Houses of Hospitality, - *The House on Mott Street, - *Tale of Two Capitals, - *Letter: 'In the Name of the Staff, '- *King, Ramsey and Connor, - *It Was a Good Dinner, - *About Mary, - *Tobacco Road, - *Review: In the Steps of Moses by Louis Golding, - *Review: \u003ci\u003eOur Lady of the Birds\u003c\/i\u003e by Louis J.A.
