Mina Loy was een centrale figuur van de modernistische avant-garde, met een oeuvre dat diep geworteld is in haar ervaringen als schilderes en dichteres. Haar werk, geroemd om zijn vernieuwende vorm en gedurfde exploratie van thema's als liefde en identiteit, weerspiegelt haar diepe betrokkenheid bij de artistieke kringen van haar tijd.

Haar onderscheidende stijl en filosofische benadering van compositie maken haar tot een onvergetelijke literaire stem.
