Produktbeschreibung
Baroness Else von Freytag Loringhoven was called the "first American Dada" and her full embrace of the radical underbelly of society makes many consider 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. The poems are sardonic yet lyrical, broken yet fearless, twisted yet sublime. The voices of Else and her friends and suitors are heard -- from her husband Fredrick Phillip Grove to her dog, Pinky. Mama Dada: Songs of the Baroness's Dog is a burlesque, an art-house of poems and secrets.
