The poet and visual artist Mina Loy has long had an underground reputation as an exemplary avant-gardist. Born in London of mixed Jewish and English parentage, and a much photographed beauty, she moved in the pivotal circles of international modernism--in Florence as Gertrude Steins friend and Marinettis lover; in New York as Marcel Duchamps co-conspirator and Djuna Barness confidante; in Mexico with the greatest love, the notorious boxer-poet Arthur Cravan; in Paris with the Surrealists and Man Ray. Carolyn Burkes riveting, authoritative biography, Becoming Modern, brings this highly original and representative figure wonderfully alive, in the process giving us a new picture of modernism--and one womans important contribution to it.About author(s):Carolyn Burke is the author of Becoming Modern: The Life of Mina Loy; Lee Miller: A Life; and No Regrets: The Life of Edith Piaf.
