Sarah Klassen's intelligent lyrical poetry and prose give a strong voice to the brilliant, startling, enigmatic figure of Simone Weil, renowned French thinker and activist - philosopher, mystic, artist, writer, literary critic, leftist, Jew-turned-Christian, anti-fascist, and pacifist - who starved herself to death in 1943 at the age of 34. - Liba (Libby) Scheier
