Re: your question...Enjoyed your impressions of Loy. Re: your question about how literal Loy's manifestos are, Emily has some interesting comments along the same lines on her reading blog (see link to the right).<BR/><BR/>For myself, I'm inclined to read Loy--in the manifestos and much of the poetry--as partly satiric. Not that she doesn't mean what she says, but she objected to the aggressive maleness of the Futurists and their chest-beating manifestos and I think she's in part having some fun with the genre. Hope we'll talk more about this tonight. Thanks for posting!rodney khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10515711262628729312noreply@blogger.com
