Updating and correcting the earlier book, this edition features previously unknown works by Loy rescued from Dada archives and avant-garde magazines. All of Loy's futurist and feminist satires are included, as are the poems from her Paris and New York periods, the cycle of \"Love Songs\", and her portraits-in-verse which define the trajectory of her favoured company and geography - from fellow modernist Joyce and Brancusi in Paris in the 1920s to fellow destitutes in New York's Lower East Side in the 1940s.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49571627303185,"sku":"GOR002336717","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50982979928337,"sku":"GOR011278247","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1857543262.jpg?v=1771667883"},{"product_id":"insel-book-mina-loy-9781612193533","title":"Insel","description":"Loosely based on Loy's real friendship with the German painter Richard Oelze, Insel is the only novel by the inimitable modernist poet and artist Mina Loy, which was never published during her lifetime. It tells the story of an unusual friendship between the narrator (a stand-in for Loy herself) and Insel, a surrealist painter of great talent but terrible living habits. Insel is an unforgettable character: the ultimate charming freeloader who sweeps into the narrator's life and overturns everything.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49685280588049,"sku":"GOR007154977","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50329065881873,"sku":"CIN1612193536G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50808718197009,"sku":"GOR005840984","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53429421572369,"sku":"CIN1612193536VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1612193536.jpg?v=1750862697"},{"product_id":"lost-writings-book-mina-loy-9780300269420","title":"Lost Writings","description":"Two never-before-published novels by Mina Loy, the celebrated modernist poet, artist, and feminist","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49869725958417,"sku":"NGR9780300269420","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51000718754065,"sku":"NIN9780300269420","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51904301564177,"sku":"CIN0300269420G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0300269420.jpg?v=1751164479"},{"product_id":"lost-lunar-baedeker-book-mina-loy-9780374258726","title":"The Lost Lunar Baedeker","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe freshwater resources are essential to sustain human life and economic development of the country as well. The present situation of freshwater crises is the result of the growing use and the depletion of the freshwater resources. The problem becomes much sever when it comes to tropical region countries due to heavy siltation. The systemic planning of water resources is the key to handle the consequences of water scarcity due to reservoir siltation. The enhanced strategies for long term water resource management demands the investigation of sediment deposition and related dredging initiatives. The tropical region countries witness monsoons within three months of a year, resulting in a high rate of flow during the period. The high rate of flow manifests as high siltation in the reservoirs which are created for storing water for the long dry spell post-monsoon season. The incessant siltation during the monsoon period over the years depletes the storage capacity of the reservoirs which are created at a very high cost and massive infrastructure investment. The government continues to spend huge sums each year for creating additional storage capacities, and in reality, most of the developed projects have not been yielding expected output, primarily due to under estimation of sedimentation problems. Reservoir sedimentation is one of the major issues affecting reservoir storage capacity more rapidly than initial estimation given the fact that in most cases there were no specific provisions for sediment management for long-term use and sustainability  1].\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":49969524867345,"sku":"CIN0374258724A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50308719575313,"sku":"GOR013921068","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50922961568017,"sku":"CIN0374258724G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0374258724.jpg?v=1750845519"},{"product_id":"stories-and-essays-of-mina-loy-book-mina-loy-9781564786302","title":"Stories and Essays of Mina Loy","description":"\"Stories and Essays of Mina Loy\" is the first book-length volume of Mina Loy's narrative writings and critical work ever published. This volume brings together her short fiction, as well as hybrid works that include modernized fairy tales, a Socratic dialogue, and a ballet. Loy's narratives address issues such as abortion and poverty, and what she called \"the sex war\" is an abiding theme throughout. \"Stories and Essays of Mina Loy\" also contains dramatic works that parody the bravado and misogyny of Futurism and demonstrate Loy's early, effective use of absurdist technique.

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.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50004007584017,"sku":"CIN0374525072G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50028146622737,"sku":"GOR005756863","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50038059499793,"sku":"CIN0374525072VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51001772278033,"sku":"NIN9780374525071","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0374525072.jpg?v=1751039047"},{"product_id":"lost-lunar-baedeker-book-mina-loy-9780856354588","title":"Lost Lunar Baedeker","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50136443879697,"sku":"GOR013867370","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51456328859921,"sku":"GOR003525668","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0856354589.jpg?v=1750883485"},{"product_id":"mina-loy-songs-to-joannes-other-verse-book-mina-loy-9781991310354","title":"Mina Loy - Songs To Joannes \u0026 Other Verse","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50995336773905,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":50995339460881,"sku":"NIN9781991310354","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1991310358.jpg?v=1751063355"},{"product_id":"lost-writings-book-mina-loy-9780300276121","title":"Lost Writings","description":"Reassessing the career of the hugely influential Harper’s Bazaar art director, who changed the course of twentieth-century American photography and graphic design     This lavishly illustrated volume explores the influence and significance of the Russian-born photographer, designer, and instructor Alexey Brodovitch (1898–1971), best known for his art directorship of the American fashion magazine Harper’s Bazaar between 1934 and 1958, as well as his tutelage of many celebrated documentary and fashion photographers, including Irving Penn, Richard Avedon, Eve Arnold, and Lillian Bassman. Though disparate in their aesthetic approaches, these figures are unified by their responses to Brodovitch’s dictum to “astonish me.” The authors address Brodovitch’s impact on photography as an artistic medium in the mid-twentieth century and explore how European art and design became the foundation of a new American print culture. Brodovitch’s own work will be illuminated through his personal projects—such as the magazine Portfolio and the photographic project Ballet, which depicted performances of the Ballets Russes de Monte Carlo in the United States (whose evolution echoed Brodovitch’s own émigré condition). Case studies of his transformative collaborations with photographers such as Arnold, Avedon, Penn, Lisette Model, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Hans Namuth, and André Kertész reveal pivotal encounters that may surprise even the most ardent photography aficionado. An illustrated chronology offers an important tool for scholars on this influential but often overlooked figure.     Distributed for the Barnes Foundation    Exhibition Schedule:    Barnes Foundation, Philadelphia  (March 3–May 19, 2024)","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52594549162257,"sku":"NLS9780300276121","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780300276121.jpg?v=1761069570"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-mina-loy.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
