An admirable poet who pushed the boundaries of expression like no otherBy ellayangBody Sweats: The Uncensored Writings of Elsa von Freytag-LoringhovenThe Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven was an eccentric. daring an admirable artist. poet and critic who pushed the boundaries of expression like no other. During her life time she was profoundly admired but also misunderstood and maligned. and apparently not that much has changed today. In Body Sweats. for the first time.I was able to experience the remarkable lyrical quality of Elsas writings. She has a genious for uninhibited self-expression which I find truly compelling and riveting. I also appreciated that the editors refused to "censor" the Baroness and deliberately included the Baronesss idiosyncratic spellings. When you look closer at some of the "misspellings" or "errors". you will notice that they turn out to be a play on words. Elsa was brillant at creating miniature poems - often embedding them within the larger poems. For me. as a poet and poetry lover. Body Sweats offers a perfect synthesis in giving us the Baronesss voice and personality.5 of 6 people found the following review helpful. A beautiful. eloquent tributeBy jrosedThe Baronesss poetry is truly a tour de force. As a lover of Dada. Ive followed discussions on the Baroness for several years and this is certainly some of the most eloquently written criticism of her poetry to date (also the only place Ive managed to FIND her poetry!) The book is sumptuously visual. with lots of colour plates of her art. To the previous reviewer. Im not sure you understood the methodology of the book--taking out errors in the poetry would have been a travesty. The Baronesss poetry has remained unpublished for FAR too long and Im glad to get it in its original form. But youre absolutely right that she was grotesque--just as she was brave. outrageous. brilliant. ironic. erotic. and a visionary.
