Extractions: Welcome to the Mina Loy Links Page. Manuscript Loy This site includes links to Loy's manuscripts on file with the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University, selected books by, and criticism about Loy (including the table of contents of the forthcoming Mina Loy: Woman and Poet , edited by Maeera Shreiber and Keith Tuma). Understand Her Futuristic Motivations In an upcoming book, author Susan Dunn (whose 1995 dissertation, "Opposed Aesthetics: Mina Loy, Modernism, and the Avant-Garde" was one of the earliest and finest contemporary analyses of Loy's work) examines Loy's links with the artistic aims of "Futurism, Dadaism, and Surrealism." According to Dunn's abstract presented here, Loy employed not only the visual aspects of these movements, but their rhetoric as well. Futurism Begins Here The "Futurism Home Page" contains links to many of the artistic manifestos written in the first half of the twentieth century, from the seminal "The Founding and Manifesto of Futurism" (1909) by Loy's lover F.T. Marinetti, to the futurist manifestos of painters, sculptors, musicians, and architects. Also available here are the influential writings of Futurism like Marinetti's "War, The World's Only Hygiene" and Balla's "The Futurist Universe." Futurist art links are also available in this comprehensive and bilingual site. Dada: Is It Art?

Extractions: prepared by Jenifer Wolkowski, last updated 15 January 1998 respond to me via e-mail There has been a recent explosion of interest in Modern poet Mina Loy (1882-1966). Her "forgotten" poems were published in 1996 in the collection, The Lost Lunar Baedeker , a biography has recently been published, and no fewer than two book-length criticisms are at press as this site is being constructed. In 1921 Ezra Pound wrote to Marianne Moore: " [...] is there anyone in America except you, Bill [William Carlos Williams] and Mina Loy who can write anything of interest in verse?" But Mina Loy has, until recently, not been mentioned in the same breath with luminaries like Ezra Pound or William Carlos Williams. She has been read by recent scholars as a lost literary jewel. There were and are hurdles in studying Mina Loy. Her politics were hazy; her poetry was inconsistent in value and message; through linguistic choices she was extraordinarily difficult to read and remains so. There are times, however, when Loy's poetry becomes both luminous and dense, where modernism becomes Modernism. To elucidate her as a person and poet through the postmodern medium of a webpage may indeed have delighted her. Her art survives her and is freshly anthologized. She may have been caught up in the trend of expanding the canon, but she has become more than modern, more than postmodern; she has become an artist unencumbered by historical alliances or salon affiliations. Virginia Kouidis deserves a great deal of credit in keeping Mina Loy alive in academe. Her 1980 text started the academic Loy canon and I am much indebted to her work. I would like to thank Carolyn Burke for

She became, also, at this time, a lifelong convert to Christian Science. By now an intimate of Mabel Dodge . . . Mina met the imported New Yorkers who flocked to Dodge's Villa Curonia: John Reed, Dodge's current lover; Carl Van Vechten; Neith Boyce; Hutchins Hapgood; and others. These contacts would later give Mina entry into the Greenwich Village avant-garde circuit. . . . Mina's first published work appeared in 1914 as the result of her New York contacts, in Alfred Steiglitz's magazine Camera Work and in Carl Van Vechten's Trend . "Aphorisms on Futurism" and her poems aroused considerable interest in New York bohemian circles, and when a group of poetsdisaffected with the editorial policy of Harriet Monroe's Poetry magazinedecided to found a new journal, Mina Loy was their rallying point. The new magazine, Others , appeared in 1915, with Mina Loy's "Love Songs" prominently displayed. The poems were much talked about in New York avant-garde circles. The text used intimate material from her own life and were frank to the point of being shocking. Meanwhile Mina continued sending poems and prose pieces to Mabel Dodge and Carl Van Vechten, relying on them to send the work on to appropriate little magazines in New York. . . . In 1916, she [left her] children with a nurse and set sail for New York ... [There] Mina met up with old friends. . . .

MINA LOY (1882-1966) Mina Loy, the modernist poet, painter, playwright, actress, and designer of lampshades, lived in Europe during the height of the Futurist, Dada, and Surrealist movements. Her talent, intellect, and exceptional beauty made her one of the central figures of the literary and artistic avant garde who later gathered around Alfred Stieglitz, Walter Conrad Arensberg, and Alfred Kreymborg in New York. Although Loy was a multi-gifted woman, her fame largely rests with her poetry, which is daring in its technical experimentation and feminist in its exploration of female oppression. Two collections of her poems were published during her lifetime

Mina Loy, Poet Painter, Modernist

Extractions: "She made an unforgettable figure with her gray-blue eyes, her patrician features, her waved black hair, parted in the centre. Tall and slender, her too large ankles were concealed by the tight hobble-skirts she wore. Her dresses, of soft dove-coloured shades, or brilliant lemon with magenta flowers, or pale green and blue, were extremely lovely. Strange, long earrings dangled from her artificially rosy ears" Mina Loy was born Mina Gertrude Lowy in London, England, December 27, 1882. She was the first of three daughters of an unlikely couple. Sigmund Lowy was a Jewish tailor who married Julia Bryan, daughter of conservative British Protestants, when she was seven months pregnant. The result was a repressed and volatile household. Mina rebelled early against her mother's Victorian conventionalism. Although the Lowys did not believe in formal education for their daughters, Mr. Lowy was an indulgent father and did encourage informal education eventually sending Mina to study art in Munich when she was seventeen. Upon returning to England she continued her art studies but soon got her parents to agree to allow to her to move to Paris. It was upon moving to Paris that Mina Lowy, never comfortable with her Jewish heritage, changed her name to Loy, and there, too, around 1900, that Mina met fellow art student, Hugh Oscar William (Stephen) Haweis.

Extractions: Financially, Stephen was completely dependent on Mina, an additional dependence that kept them married for years beyond any real relationship. Mina gave birth to their first child, Oda Janet, in 1904, but she died of meningitis two days after her first birthday. After her death Mina stayed up all night completing The Wooden Madonna , a painting now lost. Upon its completion Mina became increasingly ill, possibly suffering a nervous breakdown. During the years Mina and Stephen spent in Paris, Mina met many emerging modernist artists and writers. Among them were Gertrude and Leo Stein, Guillaume Apollinaire, Pablo Picasso, and Auguste Rodin, whose sculptures Stephen photographed. Then when Mina was twenty-three, her marriage a façade held together by the monthly allowance her father sent, she and Stephen moved to Florence, Italy. Here Mina continued to paint and to exhibit her work in England as well as Italy. It was these years in Florence that marked her emergence as a modern poet. Personally, however, they were not easy years. Two more children were born, Joella in 1907 and Giles in 1909. That same year Joella became ill, and Mina fearing she would lose another child, turned to Christian Science for help. She would continue an association with this group for the rest of her life. Financial worries and continued marital unhappiness took their toll on Mina, and she was often ill. Despite these personal trials, though, the Haweisis were friends with a growing Anglo-American community in Florence including Muriel and Paul Draper and Mabel Dodge (Luhan). Additionally, the Italian Futurists Mina met were a great inspiration to her poetry. Two who were prominently in her life were F. T. Marinetti and Giovanni Papini. Both would also become her lovers after her separation from Stephen when he de

Extractions: vers libertine the sort of free verse that in the 1910s seemed to lead to free love. To the modernists, she was the first to chart the sensibility of the "new woman." Ezra Pound praised her intellect and her refusal to traffic in sentiment, the staple, he judged, of women poets. (Her poems bristled with such intelligence that Pound coined the term "logopoeia" to describe them.) William Carlos Williams, Hart Crane, and E. E. Cummings all learned from her example. In the 1920s she was as well known as Marianne Moore, the other female modernist with whom she was frequently compared. Mina Loy was forgotten, Kenneth Rexroth thought, because her poems were unlike those of any other woman poet. Indeed, they defied the category. Subordinating the pleasures of lyricism to wit, irony, and a fierce sense of justice, she forced readers to thinkwhether they liked it or not. Now, when poetry reflects concerns with sexual difference as well as the relations between language and perception, she seems decades ahead of her time. Although Lunar Baedecker [sic], her first book of poems, has been a collector's item since its publication in 1923, the voice that speaks from its pages is decidedly that of a modernist; her poems see art, love, sex, and childbirth from the perspective of a new woman. Yet she had adopted this perspective through an effort of will, just as she had taken her name.

Extractions: I discovered Mina Loy in Paris in the seventies. Because of my interest in the expatriates, I was reading memoirs like Robert McAlmon's Being Geniuses Together and Gertrude Stein's Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas, where the name Mina Loy kept appearing. I began wondering who she was and tried to find her poetry which proved to be difficult because it had long been out of print. The search soon took on something of an obsessive quality, or perhaps it was like detective work. By the time I found her Lunar Baedecker I was so taken with it that I thought "this woman is remarkable she's very much ahead of her time." She was into everything new and interesting.

A rather surprising statement, at least about Loy, given that this "girl" wasn't American at all. Born in England in 1882 as Mina Gertrude Löwy to a Hungarian Jewish father who had emigrated to England as a young man, and an English mother, Julia Bryan, Loy grew up in London, studied art in Munich (1899-1901), and then, with her English husband, a fellow art student named Stephen Haweis, lived first in Paris (1903-06), and then in Florence (1906-16), where her two children Giles and Joella were born.
