Weil's influence on Jan Zwicky

Tanis MacDonald recently  published an article on Weil's influence on the poet Jan Zwicky.  This is part of a project investigating the impact of Weil on  modern Canadian female poets (Sarah Klassen, Anne Carson and Suzanne Buffam, Maggie Helwig, Lorri Neilsen Glenn and Karen Solie).

MacDonald, Tanis. "What Is Not Self: Jan Zwicky, Simone Weil, and the Resonance of Decreation." Philosophy and Literature 39.1 (2015): 211-18.

Other works that I have located discussing Weil's influence on Zwicky:

Dickinson, Mark, and Clare Goulet, eds. Lyric Ecology: An appreciation of the Work of Jan Zwicky. Toronto, Ontario: Cormorant Books, 2010. This collection of articles on Zwicky includes a number of references comparing Weil and Zwicky.  See "Ethics and Domesticity" by Warren Heiti for a series of quotes from Weil (pages 127, 132), Zwicky and other writers;  "Wisdom" by Sue Sinclair page 163 and "Metaphor and Ecological Responsibility by Darren Bifford, page 193.
