The Vulnerability of Precious Things: Encounters with Simone Weil
published by Mariscat Press of Edinburgh and Molecular Press of Geneva
(£12.00. ISBN 978 1 0686756 9 0)
‘…the reality of life is not sensation but activity – activity in both thought and action.’ SW
Simone Weil (1909-1943) was one of the 20th century’s most significant thinkers. Her ideas on affliction, attention and force are as vital now as they were when she described them. Tom Pow’s poems (or ‘encounters’) engage with her short life and times. The resulting work – varied, thought-provoking and moving – is a work of imaginative empathy that makes clear Weil’s relevance to the world today.
If unable to make the launch, you can order the book from Mariscat Press
