Recovering women writers from literary obscurity is both an archival and a feminist act. Join poet and scholar Karla Kelsey for a reading exploring the revolutionary work of modernist writer and artist Mina Loy (1882-1966), followed by a conversation with Alys Moody. As editor of Lost Writings: Two Novels by Mina Loy and author of the poet's novel Transcendental Factory: For Mina Loy, Kelsey uncovers multiple ways fragmented archives can activate new creative possibility. This event offers participants insight into the editorial process, poetic homage, and the generative power of lost texts.5:30 pm EST/GMT-5
