Writing[]
Poetry: “At her most delicious, Zweig serves a poetry of forks, of mixed metaphors, and divergent definitions. She claims to be ‘meek as you-know. Me, reportedly,’ but when it comes to overhauling idioms, she’s nothing of the sort: is that line claiming she’s ‘meek, as you know’? Is it sarcastically insisting ‘you know me, reportedly’? When fostering such confusions — slowing our reading to a grand-still — Zweig seems like the ‘bee’s news,’ her work an electrifying ‘ringling & brotherly-circuits.’"[9]
