About the Collection:
Baroness
Else von Freytag Loringhoven was called the “first American Dada”
and her full embrace of the radical underbelly of society makes many consider
her a “proto-punk” or an early performance artist.
Jan
Horner’s sharp and elegant poems reveal Else’s character and her
rough and extravagant life. She peels back the divided nature of Else’s
personality, revealing how she chased love, and scorned it, with the same kind
of determination she chased art and imagination.
