Mina Loy - Songs to Joannes & Other Verse
Forgotten Poets #7 / forgottenpoets.substack.com
'Songs to Joannes & Other Verse' [146 pages] brings together a selection of poems by London poet Mina Loy, later based in Paris and New York, including the entire 34 song sequence, 'Songs to Joannes', and a generous selection of Loy's other verses (originally published 1914-1923), as well as selected short essays, manifestos, and aphorisms; with illustrations by Mina Loy, Djuna Barnes, and Clara Tice. Loy was a revolutionary poet, and a member of the Futurist and Dada groups in the mid-1910s, and a forerunner to the 'free' and 'new verse' movements of the 1920s.

Of hill from hill
The interim
Of star from star

Of the laboratory

the tonnage
of consciousness
congealed to phrases
