Description:As a neurasthenic, kleptomaniac, man-chasing proto-punk poet and artist, the BaronessElsa von Freytag-Loringhoven left in her wake a ripple that is becoming a rip--one hundred yearsafter she exploded onto the New York art scene. As an agent provocateur within New York's modernistrevolution, "the first American Dada" not only dressed and behaved with purposefuloutrageousness, but she set an example that went well beyond the eccentric divas of the twenty-firstcentury, including her conceptual descendant, Lady Gaga. Her delirious verse flabbergasted NewYorkers as much as her flamboyant persona. As a poet, she was profane and playfully obscene,imagining a farting God, and transforming her contemporary Marcel Duchamp into M'ars (my arse). Withits ragged edges and atonal rhythms, her poetry echoes the noise of the metropolis itself. Her lovepoetry muses graphically on ejaculation, orgasm, and oral sex. When she tired of existing words, shecreated new ones: "phalluspistol," "spinsterlollipop," "kissambushed."The Baroness's rebellious, highly sexed howls prefigured the Beats; her intensity and psychologicalcomplexity anticipates the poetic utterances of Anne Sexton and Sylvia Plath. Published more than acentury after her arrival in New York, Body Sweats is the first major collection of Elsa vonFreytag-Loringhoven's poems in English. The Baroness's biographer Irene Gammel and coeditor SuzanneZelazo have assembled 150 poems, most of them never before published. Many of the poems arethemselves art objects, decorated in red and green ink, adorned with sketches and diagrams,presented with the same visceral immediacy they had when they were composed.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
