Book Synopsis
The transnational modernist Mina Loy (1882-1966) embodied the avant-garde in many literary and artistic media. This book positions her as a theorist of the avant-garde and of what it means to be an artist.

Trade Review
"This will be regarded as the best book about Mina Loy’s writing and as a useful history of the avant-garde." — Keith Tuma, editor of Anthology of Twentieth-Century British and Irish Poetry

"[A] welcome addition to studies of modernism, the avant-garde, and Mina Loy. [...] Hayden’s rich prose is synthetic, analytic, and anecdotal all at once, and many of her readings are thorough, attentive, and convincingly new. The double columns are not so daunting with a critical voice generating much energy and liveliness. Set aside time to read this book." — ALH Online Review, XVIII
