Born in New York City in 1936, Randall has lived for extended periods in Albuquerque, New York, Seville, Mexico City, Havana and Managua.\u00a0During the turbulent 1960s, she co-founded and co-edited \u201cEl Corno Emplumado\/The Plumed Horn,\u201d a bilingual literary journal which for eight years published some of the most dynamic and meaningful writing of an era.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She lived among New York\u2019s abstract expressionists in the 1950s and early \u201960s, participated in the Mexican student movement of 1968, and in her words, \u201cshared important years of the Cuban revolution and the first four years of Nicaragua\u2019s Sandinista project.\u201d<\/p>\n
She has published more than 80 books. Among Randall’s most recent titles are \u201cAs If the Empty Chair\/Como si la silla vacia,\u201d \u201cDaughter of Lady Jaguar Shark,\u201d and \u201cThe Rhizome as a Field of Broken Bones\u201d (all poetry), \u201cMore Than Things\u201d (essays) and \u201cChe on My Mind\u201d (a feminist poet’s impression of Che Guevara, recently published by Duke University Press).<\/p>\n
