Loy mina conover (13 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Good. There was a time when it was common to couple Mina Loy's name with that of W. C. Williams or Marianne Moore: her advanced contemporaries considered her a literary and artistic genius - a descendant of Sappho by way of Emily Dickinson. But the public was scandalized by her work, and some critics openly scorned it. Not only were her Futurist-inspired techniques unlike anything most readers had encountered before, but her subjects - procreation, parturition, prostitution, suicide, addiction, retardation - were considered shocking even by some modernists. Mina Loy vanished from the literary scene just as dramatically as she arrived on it, and for most of the century her bold experiments have remained a well-kept secret. But in recent years Loy's work has been discovered by a new generation of poets and critics, and has begun to surface in revisionist anthologies. What has been needed is a reliable text of the essential Loy poems. To assemble The Lost Lunar Baedeker, Roger Conover has rescued Loy's poems and prose works from the Dada magazines and other ephemeral publications where they first appeared. All of Loy's notorious Futurist and feminist satires are included, as are many poems from her Paris and New York periods, the complete cycle of Love Songs, and several previously unknown texts. Detailed notes accompany the text.…

Zustand: Fine. First printing. First edition review copy of the poet's only novel, an intermittently autobiographical narrative examination of the cosmically irritating Insel, a parasitical painter based loosely on the German surrealist Richard Oelze. Denied publication in the author's lifetime by an uncharacteristically short-sighted publisher who "questioned whether it was really a novel" (Conover), INSEL is in fact a novel by Randall Jarrell's definition, the only one that matters ("The novel is a prose narrative of some length that has something wrong with it.") Episodic, obsessional, philosophical, and full of better jokes than its reputation for difficulty would suggest, INSEL is very like a Surrealist screwball comedy - specifically, like a Surrealist MY MAN GODFREY, the film the narrator watches with her threatening but toothless "ethereal bum" (Arnold) just to underline the parallel. Uncommon. 9'' x 6''. Original yellow cloth spine with paper-covered boards. In original publisher's acetate dust jacket. 196, [4] pages. Edition of 250 hardcover trade copies. Original publisher's review slip laid in. Minor edgewear. Light rubbing to jacket.…
