The Last Lunar Baedeker by Mina Loy
The Last Lunar Baedeker by Mina Loy. 1982 Jargon Society, first thus, 334 pages. Loy was a British modernist poet and artist. According to the Poetry Foundation: "Loy's contemporaries made a legend of her beauty and personal tragedy; literary historians occasionally remembered her as an exotic fringe figure of the American and Dada avant-gardes. Then in the 1940s and 1950s began the rediscovery of Mina Loy by the radical current of modernism (running from Stein, Pound, and Williams to Kenneth Rexroth and the Black Mountain poets), and in the succeeding decades feminist poets and critics recognized in Loy a very contemporary ancestor." This collection includes poems spanning her career, as well as feminist tracts, essays, and more.
