ABOUT THE READERS
Poet, photographer, translator, and social activist MARGARET RANDALL was born in New York City and grew up in New Mexico. Out of Mexico City In the 1960s, she co-founded and edited a bilingual poetry journal, El Corno Emplumado, that published the best work of the decade. Taking active part in the Mexican student movement of 1968 and then living in Cuba for eleven years and Nicaragua for four, Randall returned to the United States in 1984, only to face deportation when the government declared her writings “against the good order and happiness of the United States.” With the support of many, she won her case in 1989. Randall is the author of more than two hundred books, most recently I Never Left Home: Poet, Feminist, Revolutionary; Artists in My Life; Wild Card (poems); and Letters from the Edge: Outrider Conversations and More Letters from the Edge (based on correspondence from longtime friends). Most recently, out in spring 2026, are: The Calendar’s Whim (poems), Pages Lost and New (essays), and Letters that Breathe Fire(letters published in El Corno Emplumado).
