Mary Borden's fascinating and terrible insight into life for nursing staff on the front line in 1917, hidden in the archives at Churchill College, Cambridge: 'The wounded that have come in today are beyond all description - it is strange that we have been able to save any'.

Tuned in to 192books New York late last night for a book launch. So moved to hear Karla Kelsey giving me a shout out (& to learn that my "That's not Mina Loy" emerges in another form in her poetic novel Transcendental Factory: For Mina Loy). What a beautiful thing!

Another Monday, another #ModWrite. Share with us what you are working on today!

This #ModWrite has been a busy one but I managed to get some writing done on Mina Loy's response to the existential threat of the atom bomb

Long journey over - Norwich on the eve of #NWiMS British Association for Modernist Studies

Met so many lovely people at #NWiMS & presented "The Late Metaphysics of Mina Loy: 'Tuning in on the Atom Bomb'". A wholesome note to end my time as a Postgraduate Representative for British Association for Modernist Studies on!

Tarot illustrator Pamela Coleman Smith's fireplace from Parc Garland, Cornwall now in Treadwell's Books, London. Funnily enough - she bought it in London & had it shipped down & it made the journey back all these decades later.

Slowly making my way through the many and varied archives of Florence...

Found out last night that two major Mina Loy artworks were sold in 2024 to The Art Institute of Chicago! This is the first time her artworks have been in a museum collection - feels momentous. artic.edu/artists/47881/…
