Susan Tichy's Main Page Through this web of similarities and differences one over-riding fact emerges: both womens very existence as radical poets was made possible by the avant-garde culture of their youththe 1910s, 20s, and 30s. As artistic culture retrenched into the conservative 40s and 50s, neither could sustain a viable public position as innovator. Loy, unable to conform to anything, even avant-garde chic, abandoned poetry, lived obscurely in post-World War II America, and devoted herself to the creation of transient trash art assemblages. Moore abandoned not poetry but her radical position among poets, accommodating both the forms and the content of her work to conservative post-War culturewhich included strict limits on the roles of women. As one of the first poets affected by late-20th-century image-marketing, she became, finally, a desiccated iconthe

Extractions: The wild life of the first 20th-century woman By Mary Spicuzza T HAT SHALLOW LITTLE inner child within each of us should rejoicefinally a book has emerged that can be judged by its cover. Becoming Modern: The Life of Mina Loy begins with a cover photograph of Loy, a beautiful artist casting a sidelong, distant yet direct glance at the camera. She leans forward, Auguste Rodin sculpture in hand, boldly challenging her viewers while her half-closed eyes offer an aura of mystery. Except for presenting her as an object rather than a creator of art, this first image perfectly captures the essence of local author Carolyn Burke's ruthlessly detailed yet sensitive biography of Loy. The forgotten "poets' poet" and virtual patron saint of sassy women, Loy constantly rejects narrow artistic movements. Just as passionately, she refuses to mold herself to fit society's expectations of women. Burke demonstrates that Mina Loy has no interest in becoming another Edna St. Vincent Millay. Instead of poems reveling in the beauty of love, the rebellious artist paints nudes and writes of physical passion, nitty-gritty sexuality and disillusionment with sharp-tongued wit. Burke's biography traces the life of the revolutionary artist from Loy's stifling childhood, being raised by her controlling, anti-Semitic mother and Jewish father in a conservative working-class British neighborhood. Like many talented artists, Loy struggles throughout her life to overcome her repressive childhood (nothing like a dysfunctional family to get those creative juices flowing).

Extractions: Reviewed by Sarah Phelan Who in the world is Mina Loy? Hardly a household name today, this dark-haired beauty of Anglo-Jewish descent was once internationally notorious as a writer of shocking free verse. When she sailed into New York Harbor on a steamboat from Europe back in 1916, her scandalous reputation had already preceded her. Despite her elegant dresses and dangly earrings, Mina was a feminist before the term was even coined, and she tackled everything in her poetry from menstruation and childbirth to suicide and prostitution with such startling honesty and breathtaking imagery that even the ornery Ezra Pound declared himself impressed. London, Paris, Rome, New Yorkeach provided a harbor for Loy. But though she moved among such big-name modernists as Gertrude Stein, James Joyce, Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray, she vanished abruptly from this landscape of luminaries in the 1930s to become the missing person of modernism. But she's missing no longer. Like some reassembled exotic butterfly, Loy has been recovered in all her multifaceted glory by Carolyn Burke. The Santa Cruz writer first became obsessed with the thoroughly modern Mina during the '70s, when Loy's name kept popping up in the biographies of everyone from Ernest Hemingway to Marianne Moore.

Extractions: Mage, 514 pages, $29.95. I f one came upon this novel with none of the prefatory information provided by Dick Davis, one would be amazed that such a giddily uproarious mixture of farce and slapstick could be published in dourly pious Iran. The explanation is simple. It was published in the days of the Shah, was enormously popular, became a great success as a television series, and continues to be widely and happily read. Mr. Davis compares it to P. G. Wodehouse's Bertie Wooster stories and to Anita Loos's Gentlemen Prefer Blondes The Lost Lunar Baedeker R oger L. Conover, the editor of this collection of Loy's poetry plus a few prose pieces, warns that she "is not for everyone. . . . if her poems do not immediately repel, they possess." That is a fair assessment, but readers interested in the wilder shores of poetic experiment will find Loy worth their attention.

Extractions: University of Texas-Austin " Anarchists in art are art's instantaneous aristocracy "Mina Loy Literary Modernism was one of the few times in the history of American literature in which writers and artists explicitly sought, through their own creative projects, to effect social and economic upheaval. Mina Loy, whose work is now being rediscovered with the recent republication of The Last Lunar Baedeker and recent publication of a biography, was one of the more radical thinkers and writers of her era. This paper will first examine Loy's political writings, specifically her political tract, "International PsychoDemocracy," in which she argues to enact a revolution one must control language. Loy anticipates, by at least half a decade, subsequent discourse theorists who argue in the same vein. Equally dynamic is her "Feminist Manifesto" in which she employs the lessons on language from "International PsychoDemocracy." "International PsychoDemocracy" at its most basic level argues that those who control language and, thus, ways in which we think, shape modes of action. Loy divides class according to those who control language and those who are subjected to this control. She labels the two classes: the dominated and the dominators. The dominators are those who dictate social ideals, tastes and customs. The dominated are those who feel a tension between their minds' innate logic and the seemingly incongruous social ideals dictated by the dominated. Thus, to engender social change or revolution, the dominated must seize control of language. Those who are most effective and powerful at reshaping vocabularies and, by extension, modes of thought are artists. Thus, Loy believes it is the artist's responsibility to disrupt received vocabularies. She argues for continual disruption in order to avoid a simple inversion between dominated and dominator.

This seminar will examine three contemporaneous modernist traditions that are usually studied as separate and distinct: Anglo-American modernism, the Harlem Renaissance, and political poetry of the first three decades of this century. We will discuss key figures from each movementmodernist experimenters such as T.S. Eliot, Mina Loy, Ezra Pound, and Gertrude Stein; Harlem Renaissance writers such as Countee Cullen, Langston Hughes, and Jean Toomer; and political activists such as Alfred Hayes and Muriel Rukeyser. We will also examine the writings of such transitional and unclassifiable figures as Nancy Cunard, Carl Van Vechten, and the Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven. Readings will emphasize poetry, but also include essays, letters, and short stories. In order to trace lines of connection between various modernist movements, the seminar will return to the little magazinesranging from The Egoist and The Little Review to Contempo The Masses , and Broom that provided the publishing base for these revolutionary writings. Through wide-ranging readings and research, we will seek to discover how common influences, aesthetic affinities, political sympathies, and unorthodox attitudes and behaviors entangle disparate writers, artists, and activists in the "web of modernism."
