<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Mina Loy (1882–1966) is an essential figure of the European and American modernist avant-garde. A groundbreaking writer of poetry, novels, essays, plays, and uncategorizable prose,
she was also a fashion and lighting designer and an accomplished visual artist. As gallery agent for figures such as Giorgio de Chirico, Alberto Giacometti, and Salvador Dalí, she was a significant conduit for art that traversed the Atlantic. Loy has been
best known for the poetry she published in the little magazines of the late teens and early twenties. The Mina Loy Papers at the Beinecke Library have been digitized in their entirety; the collection can be viewed online here: <a href="https://brbl-dl.library.yale.edu/vufind/Search/Results?lookfor=YCAL_MSS_6&type=CallNumber">Mina
