Mina Loy’s poem “Gertrude Stein” was published in The Transatlantic Review, Vol. 2, No. 3 (September 1924). In her book, Susan Glaspell in Context (University of Michigan, 2001), J. Ellen Gainor, a professor of the performing and media arts at Cornell University, writes about the poem, “Loy captures here the sense that [Gertrude] Stein’s poetry transcended rhetorical form and extracted from the morass of language the means of pure expression. Loy uses the metaphor of the laboratory for its connotations of significant, life-changing, but also dangerous exploration and discovery. These images not only convey a feeling for Stein’s creative process; they also give it the weight and value that the modern age attributed to science.”
