This #ModWrite, I'm preparing my teaching materials for a dreamy class on 'Modernity and the Essay' I'll be giving later this week. These are our primary texts 😍

I’m doing #ModWrite from Brussels today and I found Virginia Woolf:

This #ModWrite has been a busy one but I managed to get some writing done on Mina Loy's response to the existential threat of the atom bomb

This #ModWrite I am working on a conference paper for the European Network for Avant-Garde and Modernism Studies on Mina Loy, spirituality, and war!

This #ModWrite I'm revising a section of my chapter on Mina Loy's spiritual networks in early 20th century Florence. I oscillate between excitement over the sources I am unravelling & the new connections being made and then sheer anxiety about how to get this thesis finished.

This #ModWrite I'm finishing off some work on Radclyffe Hall - particularly Hall's horrified reaction to the Beresford Egan caricature of her crucified in the satirical pamphlet, 'The Sink of Solitude'.

Excruciatingly hot in Florence, for #ModWrite I'm hiding inside reading. Was just reminded that it's been 6 years today since the unveiling of William Blake's grave at Bunhill Fields (prev unmarked grave, location unknown). Not a modernist but Blake led me to my PhD on Mina Loy.

observe.the flight.of Eros obsolete. And “Immortality”.mildews . in the museums of the moon. “Nocturnal cyclops”.“Crystal concubine”. Pocked with personification.the fossil virgin of the skies.waxes and wanes. #ModWrite thinking about the Lunar Baedeker (again)

I had a very studious and serious #ModWrite today, decorating my birthday cake…(biscoff, if you want to know) 🎂🎈

This #Modwrite I'm writing on John Cowper Powys, Nietzsche, and mock-crucifixion. Contrary to most readings of Nietzsche, Powys refers to his output as a 'deliberate self-inflicted crucifixion'. On another note, I'm also very happy to be joining the BAMS committee as a PG rep!

Presented '"A life for a life": A Woman's Voice in the Archives' today @EUI_QFG 's Writing Women, Making History on my research into Mina Loy. Thank you to @bernardgiselle2 & Zsofia Veszely for the invitation - what an exciting first day to the workshop!. #ModWrite #8Marzo

Today's #ModWrite is a mod-prep for my looming PhD viva (AKA me anxiously rereading my thesis about textual gloryholes, speculums, wombs and bodily fluids in Finnegans Wake, while wanting to gently wither away in the sun).

This #ModWrite, I’m brushing back up on my early H.D. for the first meeting of the Whichcote Society’s year of H.D.-related events!

Attending "Modernism & Organicism II. Dialogues between Art, Philosophy & Science" in Florence this #ModWrite! Charrisa Terranova just did her keynote on her 2024 Organic Modernism: from the British Bauhaus to Cybernetics work & next up is a panel on Henri Bergson!

For this #ModWrite I am exploring the relationship between 'The Bungalow Horror'—Patrick Mahon’s 1924 murder of Emily Kaye—the interwar yen for 'bungalow crime fiction', & the bungalow in contemporary debates about class difference, urbanisation, & building development.

Enjoying my Monday off. #ModWrite

This #ModWrite I’m preparing for my viva, which is tomorrow…*gulp*

Writing this! #ModWrite

This #ModWrite I am trying to do what I can without my laptop (been broken since the 8th & now the shop is telling me it could be as late as 25th until they get the parts so am beyond stressed - fingers crossed it's resolved sooner)
