Time's Language I (Wings Press, 2018) included selections from Margaret Randall's poetry collections beginning with her first self-published book in 1959 and ending six decades later. Time's Language II picks up where its predecessor left off, enabling readers to savor Randall's later, more mature, work. Here are robust selections from Against Atrocity, Out of Violence into Poetry, Stormclouds Like Unkept Promises, Vertigo of Risk, Your Answer is Your Map, and Home, as well as Starfish on a Beach-- the author's poetic response to the Covid pandemic-- and her most recent as yet uncollected production. Together, the two volumes present the range and depth of a poet whose work belongs to two centuries and records a woman's intimate life as well as her personal involvement with some of the most dramatic events of our time. A life of poetry in its fullest expression!
Margaret Randall
Margaret Randall is a poet, writer, translator, photographer, and activist who has lived in New York, Mexico City, Havana, Cuba, Managua, Nicaragua, and Albuquerque, New Mexico, with short stays in North Vietnam and Lima, Peru. Her time in these places often coincided with major sociopolitical upheavals or pivotal historic moments. She edited an important bilingual literary magazine for eight years out of Mexico City and has known some of the great minds of her generation. When she returned to the United States, the US government ordered her deported because of opinions expressed in some of her books, and she was forced to wage a five-year battle for restoration of citizenship. Her correspondence with those she met along the way makes for exciting reading.
Randall is the recipient of numerous international awards and the author of over 200 books, four of which were published by New Village Press: My Life in 100 Objects, Artists in My Life, Risking a Somersault in the Air, and Luck.
