This week’s news in Venn diagrams.

We’re ten days into the 30th National Poetry Month—perhaps you’ve seen our poem-of-the-day feature—and it’s gotten me into a lyrical mood. In that vein, I picked up and became instantly enraptured by John Berger’s And Our Faces, My Heart, Brief as Photos, an unclassifiable amalgam of essay, memoir, and devotional that’s been catching my breath on every other page. It’s been an otherwise tough week, I think we can all agree, and having something beautiful and thoughtful close by has been a balm. If you want to Banter About Berger, please be in touch.

I hope that this weekend, something of beauty stops you in your tracks too. In the meantime, here are some Venns to catch you up on the week’s book news, and I’ll see you back here on Monday.
