T1 "And Is She A Com-pat-riot?": The Exile of Mina Loy
A1 Leach-Rudawski, Mary Jane
AB In this paper I question the long-standing tradition which has unambiguouslyassigned the phrase “American modernist poet” to Mina Loy.Loy’s nomadic biographical narrative and her poetry belie such an ascriptionto American letters, notwithstanding her status in later life as anAmerican citizen. Analyzing a few of her best-known poems (from the“Pound Era”), and highlighting the cultural critique underlying thosepoems, I suggest that the space in which Loy wrote and lived is ultimatelythe unclassifiable space of self-exile. In this paper I argue that themarginalized position that Loy’s poetry has been accorded, even in theAmerican literary canon, may be attributed not only to the experimentalnature of her poetry, and her detachment from literary circles, but also toher work of mapping feminist, rather than nationalist poetic boundaries.
