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!

When she came home in 1984, the government ordered her deported because it found some of her writing to be " against the good order and happiness of the United States." With the support of The Center for Constitutional Rights as well as many writers and others, she won her case, and her citizenship was restored in 1989.
