""For as long as I've had the distinct pleasure of knowing Margaret Randall and her work, neither she nor her work have ever shied from the penetrating questions.... She's proving to be timeless. Her poems in this collection, however, continue to age with the times, 'growing with power as they do.'"" - Hakim Bellamy, inaugural City of Albuquerque Poet Laureate and author of Commissions y Corridos ""This is a book suffused with curiosity and wisdom, and bears witness to past and current times of struggle and resistance.... This poet does not back down."" - Tina Carlson, author of A Guide to Tongue Tie Surgery ""Margaret Randall remains very much a poet of now, not in spite but because of her long and distinguished history.... Her fearlessness is by no means limited to ideological struggle, however. As she has always protested, she is not a 'political poet'; she refuses that level of compartmentalization in favor of presenting the whole package of human experience. Life itself is her subject."" - Garrett Caples, author of Lovers of Today ""Celebrated poet and activist Margaret Randall assumes her role as sage and seer to remind us of the deep-rooted power of chronicle in our struggle for a more human world. Her poems sing their truth, challenging us to 'call on memory and start fighting back.' Indeed, these pages are a resounding testament to the sway of poetry-nearer to truth than history."" - Katherine M. Hedeen, translator of Antonio Gamoneda's Burn the Losses
