Well into her ninth decade, legendary human rights activist, poet, historian, translator and editor Margaret Randall keeps right on producing important and impressive books -- so many that even Randall lost count around 200. In her latest poetry collection, This Honest Land, she revisits many of her familiar themes: memory, place and displacement, climate change, fear, love, and the desert landscape of her New Mexican home. These poems are alive and vivid, almost youthfully intense, yet simultaneously wise and insightful with the authority of the poet's mature voice.

Autorenporträt
Margaret Randall (New York, 1936) is a poet, essayist, historian, translator, photographer, and social activist. She lived in Latin America for 23 years (in Mexico, Cuba, and Nicaragua). The author of over 200 books, her literary career began as the coeditor of El Corno Emplumado / The Plumed Serpent, a bilingual literary journal that published some of the best work of the sixties. Banned from reentering the US, with the support of many literary luminaries, she won her case, and her citizenship was restored in 1989. She has garnered numerous honors and prizes throughout the Americas.
