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 consciousness
congealed to phrases
