Poetry and creative expression under authoritarian pressure

Margaret Randall brings her experience of writing amid social change in the United States, Mexico, Cuba, and Nicaragua to an exploration of how poets in different times and places have responded to forces that threaten creative freedom. The book connects that subject with Randall’s own experience of being ordered deported from the United States for her writings, winning her case, and having her citizenship restored.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in poetry’s relationship to political power and creative freedom.
  • Readers seeking essays on poets’ responses to authoritarianism across different historical and geographic contexts.
  • Readers interested in Margaret Randall’s experience as a writer across the United States, Mexico, Cuba, and Nicaragua.

Book overview

We live in a moment of authoritarian takeovers happening around the world. In such times, we turn to the creative arts. We turn to poets.

 

Margaret Randall has lived and written in the United States, Mexico, Cuba, and Nicaragua during years of great social change. Her own home country ordered her deported for her writings; she won her case, and her citizenship was restored.

 

Here, Randall explores how poets in other times and other places have responded to forces that would diminish or destroy them. She draws on Bertolt Brecht, Carolyn Forch
