Poetic Salvage
Author: Tara Prescott
Publisher: Bucknell University Press
ISBN: 1611488133
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 293
Book Description
Mina Loy—poet, artist, exile, and luminary—was a prominent and admired figure in the art and literary circles of Paris, Florence, and New York in the early years of the twentieth century. But over time, she gradually receded from public consciousness and her poetry went out of print. As part of the movement to introduce the work of this cryptic poet to modern audiences, Poetic Salvage: Reading Mina Loy provides new and detailed explications of Loy’s most redolent poems. This book helps readers gain a better understanding of the body of Loy’s work as a whole by offering compelling close readings that uncover the source materials that inspired Loy’s poetry, including modern artwork, Baedekertravel guides, and even long-forgotten cultural venues. Helpfully keyed to the contents of Loy’s Lost Lunar Baedeker, edited by Roger Conover, this book is an essential aid for new readers and scholars alike. Mina Loy forged a legacy worthy of serious consideration—through a practice best understood as salvage work, of reclaiming what has been so long obscured. Poetic Salvage: Reading Mina Loy dives deep to bring hidden treasures to the surface.

Mina Loy
Author: Jennifer R. Gross
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691239843
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
"Mina Loy (1882-1966) was one of the most inscrutable artists and poets of the twentieth century. Born in London and formally trained as an artist in London, Munich, and Paris, Loy was elected as a member of the Salon d'Automne in Paris at the age of 23. Her modernist enlightenment came through her introduction to the Italian Futurists, and her subsequent structurally startling and provocative poetry and manifesto-writing brought her immediate notoriety and the embrace of the American avant-garde. Upon her arrival in New York in 1916 she was featured as the prototype of the "Modern Woman" in a profile in the New York Evening Sun. Her writings were published in Camera Work, Little Review, Rogue, and elsewhere, and her art was included in the groundbreaking 1917 Independents' Exhibition. She was Marcel Duchamp's date for the Blind Man's Ball-a friendship that lasted throughout their lives, as Duchamp organized Loy's final exhibition in 1955. Today, Loy is remembered primarily as a poet. Mina Loy: Strangeness Is Inevitable is the first book to examine the full scope of her career, including her visual work. The book follows Loy on her transatlantic passage to America as an immigrant in 1936 and features over 50 of her paintings, drawings, and constructions alongside a selection of her poetry and writings, all of which reveal her omnivorous creativity as an image-maker, author, and cultural arbiter. These works are complemented by extensive, never-before-assembled archival materials that provide context for her art within the arc of her extraordinary life. Contributing authors will show how indispensable of a force she was in introducing Italian futurism to America, radicalizing the aspirations of feminism, expanding the aesthetics of surrealism, and presaging American pop art through her assemblage constructions. Introducing the full breadth of Loy's creative expression-painting, drawing, poetry, prose, art criticism, and fashion design-Mina Loy presents the remarkable vision of this iconoclast"--
