Mina Loy

Loy, Mina (Mina Gertrude Lowy)

Loy, Mina (Mina Gertrude Lowy) (1882–1966), English‐born poet whose contributions to little magazines of the 1920s are collected in Lunar Baedecker (1923). She was praised by T.S. Eliot, and called by Yvor Winters a master of free verse “so simplified, so denuded of secondary accent, as to be indistinguishable from prose.” Her cool poems of the first volume and some additions were issued as Lunar Baedeker & Time‐Tables (1958) and with further additions as The Last Lunar Baedeker (1982).
