The Lost Lunar Baedeker

In recent years, the neglected modernist poet Mina Loy (1882-1966) has been rediscovered by a new generation of readers. The Lost Lunar Baedeker rescues Loy's key works from the pages of forgotten publications in which they first appeared. The book includes all of her Futurist and feminist satites, poems from her Paris and New York periods, and the complete cycle of 'Love Songs,' as well as previously unknown texts and detailed notes. 'Among Loy's critical partisans, none is more enthusiastic than Roger Conover,' Helen Vendler observed in The New York Review of Books, and with this volume he gives us back the writings of a poet Ezra Pound once ranked with William Carlos Williams and Marianne Moore—a woman whose tumultuous life made her a fascinating and representative modern figure, and her name a byword for the intrepid avant-gardist.
