Never heard of her before I came across this passage. Wonderful. And yes, her bio said exactly that – way way before her time.
I’ve been maintaining we have yet to catch up to MM.

She busted the fourth wall in her silent movie – in 1917!

I rediscovered Mary MacLane in ’85, did the first anthology on her in ’93 … and I’m so happy she’s finally being read. Her depth and fire-and-ice are comforts to many people. I’m hoping to finish a biography on her soon!
OK, you’ve convinced me to pick up her book. I’m on it.
I haven’t seen your posts in my reader, I did though remember the name of your blog David!
Best wishes for the New Year!
Hi Debra. Glad to have you back. Happy New Year.

Yes, so true Sonia
