Leo Wong on (Edited )
Mina Loy, contemporary to Ezra Pound, T.S. Eliot, and Marianne Moore, is biographically and aesthetically associated with Italian Futurism (and perhaps Imagism), modernism, surrealism and more.
The resource here:

follows from Loy's application of "parole-in-libertà" in 'Feminist Manifesto' and 'Aphorisms on Futurism'(Drouin, 2024:10), and can be a helpful resource to grasp the idea of "close reading", "reading" and "close[ness]".
