	Mina Loy's Life
		Born Mina Gertrude Lowy in 1882, [Mina Loy] was the daughter of a second-generation Hungarian Jewish father and an English Protestant mother.
		Loy, Mina (27 Dec. 1882-25 Sept. 1966), poet and artist, was born Mina Gertrude Lowy in London, England, the daughter of Sigmund Lowy, a tailor, and Julia Bryan.
		Loy expressed her preoccupation with self-realization through the image of "I-eye." The eyes in the poems of the 1910s belong to dissatisfied women: "A thousand women's eyes / Riveted to the unrealizable." In the 1920s they are the unflinching visionary eyes of admired artists: Gertrude Stein, James Joyce, Constantin Brancusi, and Wyndham Lewis.

	[No title]
		It was Loy’s Ôotherness’ that was noticed first and foremost by her contemporaries.” For Burke, Lunar Baedeker suggests that Loy “saw herself as a cartographer of the imagination” one who would eschew not only the preconceived itineraries of the popular Baedeker guidebooks but also the Victorian imperatives for which Loy perceived them to stand.
		Loy, born Lowy in 1882, was the eldest daughter of Sigmund, a Jewish migr and enterprising tailor, and a Christian English mother, Julia, who was not only domineering and prudish but prone to theatrical swooning.
		Loy’s paintings would come to be widely exhibited in the salons and galleries of Europe and America, but underlying this success was Loy’s struggle to transform herself from artist’s model and mistress to artist.

		In "Aphorisms on Futurism" Loy speaks to the old self, to the painter lacking the courage to throw over the aesthetic conventions in which she was trained, and to the woman hemmed in by the tight lacing of Victorian propriety:
		Loy capitalizes initial words for greater emphasis and either runs sentences on one line to stress the final, climactic word or carries them over to give equal prominence to both final and initial positions.
		About the same time that Loy wrote her portrait in verse, "Gertrude Stein," she made a series of line drawings of women artists (actually weavers), as if the vision of a woman absorbed in the task of revitalizing her craft could be expressed as well in either kind of line, poetic or painterly.

	Jacket # 5 - Marjorie Perloff - MINA LOY'S "ANGLO-MONGRELS AND THE ROSE"
		Loy returned to Italy for two years and then settled with her two daughters (her son Giles had been kidnapped by her former husband and was to die soon thereafter) in Paris, where she lived from 1923 to 1936.
		Loy's portrait of her mother in Part 2 of "Anglo-Mongrels" contains some of her most devastating satire, satire in which, again, the language itself is as "mongrelized" as are the principals of her narrative.
		In the course of the narrative, the emphasis remains squarely on the indictment of the imperial England of the poet's childhood, with its "bland taboo / from the nursery to the cemetery" (156) and its "twilight turbulence / of routine in coma" (157).

	Mina Loy
		Loy was forced to fight for any chance to study her crafts, as her mother was not an advocate for female education.
		Loy refused to be confined, both in her work and in her life, by cultural expectations and chose to illuminate what society had deemed unimportant in her poetry by “scrutinizing the social and literary marginalization of women” (Shreiber).
		Mina Loy's life story and the story of her work is a complicated one, as Loy seemed to epitomize her age at the same time that she eluded it (Weiner).

	Poetry Previews: Mina Loy (Interview of Biographer Carolyn Burke)
		She and Mina read Freud, Bergson, some of the Eastern philosophers -- they were immersed in what was called the New Thought -- so you put all that together and it was a climate ripe for something new to happen.
		But since Mina was a person who reacted to what others did, it was actually good for her to have to respond to Marinetti's misogyny -- in her wonderful poems on the "sex war" as she called it and her satires of Italian males like Marinetti.
		Mina Loy remained a poet's poet until the seventies, when she was rediscovered within the context of feminist readings.

	Hilda Bronstein: (In-Conference -- HOW2) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		While Loy often adopts the revolutionary mode of the historical avant-gardes among whom she lived and worked, and challenges the wider artistic and cultural economies which the movements were themselves defying, she simultaneously challenges some of the precepts of those same movements.
		While Loy’s work and biography suggest her centrality to the history of the avant-garde in poetry, prose and the visual arts, there are also elements odd and perhaps unassimilable there, even at a moment when we have come to recognize a plurality of competing modernisms.
		Mina Loy was perpetually driven by the imperative of resistance to break rules, explore forbidden territories, and avoid the conclusive, preferring disguise and even anonymity to “centrality” within the avant-garde.

	PN Review - 30 Years of Character
		Loy once remarked that her friend Gertrude Stein was a genius who was born to be misunderstood.
		In the same spirit Mina's adoption of 'Loy', an abbreviated version of her surname, announced that she would be a 'loi' unto herself.
		Mina, Man Ray, Marcel Duchamp, and other habitués of the Arensberg salon poke fun at their collective 'genius' in the opening hymn, 'We are ahead of our time'.

	Mina Loy, Poet Painter, Modernist
		Mina Loy was born Mina Gertrude Lowy in London, England, December 27, 1882.
		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.
		Mina was not, however, similarly impressed with Stephen's talents, but his constant references to his frail psyche and his admonitions for her not to leave him bound them together.

		Mina Loy was forgotten, Kenneth Rexroth thought, because her poems were unlike those of any other woman poet.
		Mina Loy was born Lowy in 1882, a time of overt anti-Semitism in England, to a Christian mother and a Jewish father.
		In some ways, Mina put poems together as one would assemble a stained-glass window: her true self is found in the shimmer of light on color.

	The BEATRICE Interview: 1996
		Loy was no avant-garde groupie, however, proving to be an accomplished visual artist, poet, and writer -- albeit one who, until now, has languished in obscurity for several decades.
		Mina's travels and her assemblage of art from shards are related: their metaphors of waywardness and fixity, fragmentation and wholeness, hint at her movements toward a state of grace.
		There was so little reliable information available about Mina Loy that I felt my responsibility was to put together as much I could about the shape of her life and the multiple contexts in which she lived.

		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.
		Loy often employs a polemical rhetoric, using categories marked by the pronouns "us" and "you." The first group '"us" seek to establish an artistic chaos and are able to transcend quotidian rules and conventions.
		It is this paper's aim to familiarize its readers with Loy's revolutionary poetics, specifically her theories on the coercive nature of language and to examine a historical moment in which artists and cultural theorists like Loy still believed non-violent revolution could be achieved through creative expression.

	Kalaidjian/Roof/Watt, Understanding Literature, 1/e - Poetry
		The daughter of a second-generation Hungarian Jewish father and an English mother, Mina Gertrude Lowry was born in London and began her career as a visual artist, exhibiting her paintings in the Salon d'Automne show in Paris, 1905.
		By 1913, Loy was emerging as a modern artist in her own right, in part through her connections to Italian Futurists such as Filippo Marinetti and through her published verse in Alfred Steiglitz's stylish journal Camera Work and in Carl Van Vechten's Trend.
		Loy spent the remaining decade of her life with her daughters in Colorado where she died in Aspen at the age of 84.

	Mina Loy - Criticism
		Baudelaire and Laforgue are French poets of the middle to late nineteenth century; Marinetti is an Italian "Futurist" poet of the early twentieth century and Loy's contemporary.
		Loy's "apology" draws attention not simply to the alienation of the artist, as suggested by Kouidis, but specifically to those artists who are also women.
		Loy's deliberate imitation of symbolist language and topoi in "Lunar Baedeker" and "Apology of Genius" constitute a gendered critique of Futurism and an assertion of the female poet's artistry and selfhood.

	MetroActive Books \| Carolyn Burke
		Burke weaves stories of Loy's artistic studies abroad and numerous affairs with brief, inoffensive psychoanalysis, tying her rebellious spirit to those early years spent under the control of others.
		As Mina Loy, perpetual jet-setter, travels between Britain, Italy, New York and Paris, Burke pieces together her scattered journal entries, poems and friends' accounts into a nonjudgmental portrait of one woman's journey of self-discovery.
		Instead of deifying Loy, who struggles through multiple neurotic affairs and leaves her children in Italy to make her fortune in New York, Burke tells a sensitive yet perceptive tale of a very human artist.

		Lee was the daughter Mina didn't have, in the sense that Mina was critical of her own daughter, whom she found too conventional.
		I became interested in Mina Loy while living in Paris, as she was mentioned in all the expatriate memoirs, but there was almost no information on her.
		Both Mina and Lee knew how to get support from the men in their lives, whereas I was such an independent-minded feminist in those days.

	Poetry Previews: Mina Loy
		In the 1920s she took "Loy" at the suggestion of a friend, "a wild Russian writer of free verse," who surely knew Mina's reputation.
		In the end, Mina did not achieve her goal -- recognition as one of the "geniuses" -- and she came to see this goal as misguided when its achievement set one apart from others.
		Over the course of her long life, Mina acted, wrote feminist and utopian tracts, explored occult religious and spiritual practices, and made a haphazard study of what turn-of-the-century intellectuals called the New Thought -- including everything from Nietzsche, Bergson, and Freud to Vedanta and Pragmatism.

		View art and images that Loy had suffusing her environment and influencing her art, among them: stained glass, reflective objects, the moon, celestial maps, the Bible, Futurist art, and Dadaist art.
		The "Love Poems" series began as "an analysis of [Loy's] 'utter defeat in the sex war'" and she told Carl Van Vechten that the poems were "rather pretty -- rather mawkish -- probably a little indecent" (Burke 185).
		Through her Baedecker poems, Loy reveals herself to be a traveler with her sights affixed on a modern journey, concerned with space, place, time, and all the trappings of a modern artist: pain, loss, journey, redemption, faith, self, identity, art, and gender.
