  <description><![CDATA[Roger L. Conover, the editor of this excellent posthumous collection, has done the poetry-reading world quite a favor. Many of these poems originally appeared in long-defunct and nearly forgotten avant-garde journals, and have never before been available in book form. Mina Loy was a favorite of the other modernists (Ezra Pound thought she was as important a writer as William Carlos Williams and Marianne Moore), and the energy in her writing is truly impressive. Here's a taste, from &quot;Mexican Desert&quot;: &quot;The belching ghost-wail of the locomotive / trailing her rattling wooden tail / into the jazz-band sunset ... &quot; Included here, too, are Loy's essays about poetry, futurism, and feminism.  ]]></description>

    <![CDATA[Roger L. Conover, the editor of this excellent posthumous collection, has done the poetry-reading world quite a favor. Many of these poems originally appeared in long-defunct and nearly forgotten avant-garde journals, and have never before been available in book form. Mina Loy was a favorite of the other modernists (Ezra Pound thought she was as important a writer as William Carlos Williams and Marianne Moore), and the energy in her writing is truly impressive. Here's a taste, from &quot;Mexican Desert&quot;: &quot;The belching ghost-wail of the locomotive / trailing her rattling wooden tail / into the jazz-band sunset ... &quot; Included here, too, are Loy's essays about poetry, futurism, and feminism.  ]]>

    <body><![CDATA[One of my all time favorite poets, Mina Loy is incredibly cerebral &amp; sensuous at the same time. Note the series, Love Songs to Johannes, probably the sexiest serial poem ever written. A hammer of a vocabulary delivered in perfect lines, breaks with the breath, funny as hell and positively delicious ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3578637">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[Roger L. Conover, the editor of this excellent posthumous collection, has done the poetry-reading world quite a favor. Many of these poems originally appeared in long-defunct and nearly forgotten avant-garde journals, and have never before been available in book form. Mina Loy was a favorite of the other modernists (Ezra Pound thought she was as important a writer as William Carlos Williams and Marianne Moore), and the energy in her writing is truly impressive. Here's a taste, from &quot;Mexican Desert&quot;: &quot;The belching ghost-wail of the locomotive / trailing her rattling wooden tail / into the jazz-band sunset ... &quot; Included here, too, are Loy's essays about poetry, futurism, and feminism.  ]]>
