Summary

Modernist poet-painters Mina Loy and Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven had many friends in common (including Djuna Barnes and Marcel Duchamp), yet there is no record that the two ever met. Their non-relationship presents a curious “absent presence�* in modernist history. Zelazo weaves lines of poetry by both women into an imaginary conversation, exploring the way their work has been suppressed, stitched, spliced, and edited by male editors and arbiters of taste.
Available since: 04/10/2018.
Print length: 88 pages.

When there really did seem to be more stars in Hollywood than in Heaven Hollywood Stage had them performing films as radio plays – on the sponsors dime of course.  Classic films now become audiobooks with many featuring the original stars from way back when. Here's Arrowsmith starring Spencer Tracy & Fay Wray.

    Edward Woodley Bowling was apparently a rector at the Church of All Saints  in Houghton Conquest, Bedfordshire, England  in the late 1800's, this poem is taken from Sagittulae, Random Verses.In this book's introduction he writes  "The general reader will probably think that some apology is due to him from me for publishing verses of so crude and trivial a character.I can only say that the smallest of bows should sometimes be unstrung, and that if my little arrows are flimsy and light they will, I trust, wound no one." (Summary by David Lawrence)
