Moreover, the Moon
Mina Loy
1982
Introduction
Moreover, the Moon
was originally published in 1982, sixteen years after Mina Loy's death. The work first appeared in The Last Lunar Baedeker, a collection of Loy's work, edited by Roger Conover. Conover located the piece in Loy's papers, which were donated to the Collection of American Literature at the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University by Loy's daughter, Joella Haweis Bayer, in 1974 and 1975. Conover's first collection of Loy's work is now out of print; however, in 1996, he published a second collection, The Lost Lunar Baedeker: Poems of Mina Loy, in which Moreover, the Moon
also appears. This later collection includes all but ten poems that were published before 1966, which is about two-thirds of the poetry that Loy wrote during her lifetime.
Although the original manuscript of Moreover, the Moon
was not dated, Conover includes the piece with Loy's other work from the years 1942–1949 in a chapter called Compensations of Poverty.
The chapter title was taken from a folder in Loy's papers that contained several poems written during these years.
Penned more than twenty years after the first publication of Loy's collected poems in Lunar Baedeker, Moreover, the Moon
returns to the poet's earlier thematic interest in feminism and patriarchy as well as to her use of the moon as a poetic image. In Moreover, the Moon,
she employs lunar imagery to explore issues of oppression and self-knowledge. She concludes that patriarchy is a lasting social institution and that women will not likely overcome its influence in their lives until they realize this and seek to define themselves outside
