Body Sweats: The Uncensored Writings of Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven

Body Sweats is the first major English-language collection of poems by the Dada poet and artist Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven (1874–1927), known as "The Baroness". Published posthumously in 2011 by MIT Press, it was edited by Irene Gammel, the author's biographer, and by Suzanne Zelazo, a poet and scholar of poetics.

The collection fulfils a wish of the Baroness herself, who wanted her poetry published in a book but did not achieve this during her lifetime. Her close friend Djuna Barnes is credited with protecting her manuscripts after her death. The volume opens with an introduction to her poetic style and her eccentric life, then presents her poems, many of them previously unpublished. It also reproduces images of the original handwritten manuscripts, which are themselves art objects.

The poems are grouped by theme: love and longing, embodiment, city and consumption, performing nature, philosophical contemplation, death and suicide, aesthetic consciousness, sonic and visual poems, and a section of long poems and poetic criticism. Most come from the Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven papers at the University of Maryland and from the records of The Little Review held by the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
