Time's Language II

Times 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. Times Language II picks up where its predecessor left off, enabling readers to savour Randalls 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!
