Reviews

"Sara Crangle's magnificent Anatomy explores Loy's ""balancing act between corpus and cosmos"". For the boisterous materialism we customarily celebrate in Loy is everywhere shadowed by her equally passionate pursuit of an ""esoteric Eros"". Paradoxically, Crangle's ""anatomization"" of Loy's work allows us finally to see it whole. --Peter Nicholls, New York University"
