In Mina Loy, Twentieth-Century Photography, and Contemporary Women
Poets, Linda A. Kinnahan explores the making of Mina Loy's late
modernist poetics in relation to photography's ascendance, by the
mid-twentieth century, as a distinctively modern force shaping
representation and perception. As photography develops over the
course of the century as an art form, social tool, and cultural
force, Loy's relationship to a range of photographic cultures
emerging in the first half of the twentieth century suggests how we
might understand not only the intriguing work of this poet, but
also the shaping impact of photography and new technologies of
vision upon modernist poetics. Framing Loy's encounters with
photography through intersections of portraiture, Surrealism,
fashion, documentary, and photojournalism, Kinnahan draws
correspondences between Loy's late poetry and visual discourses of
the body, urban poverty, and war, discerning how a visual rhetoric
of gender often underlies these mappings and connections. In her
final chapter, Kinnahan examines two contemporary poets who
directly engage the camera's modern impact -Kathleen Fraser and
Caroline Bergvall - to explore the questions posed in their work
about the particular relation of the camera, the photographic
image, and the construction of gender in the late twentieth
century.
