Introduction to Mina Loy

What is/are Mina Loy?

Mina Loy - In an undated letter, likely composed in late 1914, Mina Loy reflected on the recent aesthetic experiences that had greatly affected her, writing that the ‘things that have made [her] gasp were a few Picassos, Windham [ sic] Lewis, Nijinski dancing – perfection is infrequent’. ^[1] It also explores Mina Loy's engagement with decoration and fashion through her poetry, in her essay on ‘Modern Poetry’ and in her work as a designer and inventor (including her design for a ‘Horse Ear Hat’). ^[2] This article investigates how Vernon Lee, Mina Loy, and Else Lasker-Schüler, three authors working across the turn of the century and across various nations, remodeled the form into personal manifestos of cosmopolitan authorship. ^[3] ABSTRACT This essay considers the “lexicophilic” impulse in some forms of Anglo-American modernism to provide a context for a close examination of Mina Loy’s interest in unusual and recondite vocabularies. ^[4] Cet article se propose d’etudier les strategies de la representation du detail dans trois poemes de Mina Loy, « Ephemerid », « On Third Avenue » et « Mass-Production on 14th Street », qui datent des annees 1940 et portent sur l’experience urbaine a New York. ^[5] L’œuvre poetique de Mina Loy eclipse bien souvent ses textes autobiographiques en prose, dont beaucoup restent encore inedits. ^[6] Based on this, the authors focus on research, namely "How is the My Pertamina Loyalty Promotion Strategy conducted by PT Pertamina (Persero) in 2018?". ^[7] This article focuses on the emergence of a poetics of cross-cultural observation in the work of Mina Loy. ^[8] This article focuses on a little-explored case of modernist collaboration situated at the crossroads between different arts: the performance of Alfred Kreymborg’s play Lima Beans, produced by the Provincetown Players in December 1916, in which poets Mina Loy and William Carlos Williams played the two leading parts, together with poet and artist William Zorach, who also designed the sets. ^[9] Focusing on accounts of shopping, fashion and advertising in the work of Gertrude Stein, Lola Ridge, Marianne Moore, Mina Loy and Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven this chapter explores how modernist women writers engage with gender and consumerism in their poetry. ^[10]
