Download As PDF : Ruins Mary Burritt Christiansen Poetry Series eBook Margaret Randall V B Price 
In this poetry collection, Margaret Randall uses the metaphor of ruins to meditate on time's movement--through memory, through cities, through the leavings of history, and through the bodies of people who have experienced time's transformations and traumas. Randall's ruins include not only Chaco Canyon, Hovenweep, Teotihuacan, Machu Picchu, Kiet Siel, Petra, and sites in ancient Greece and Egypt, but also Auschwitz-Birkenau and lives shattered by torture and oppression.
"Always there is that moment of arrival, as another reality rises before me, superimposed upon the one I live today. Sometimes the membrane is torn, and I find myself moving in and out. Boundaries dissolve. A mysterious space, between then and now, warns as it invites promising revelation and maybe also fresh trauma if I am willing to risk its secrets."--Margaret Randall, in the Introduction

Ruins Mary Burritt Christiansen Poetry Series eBook Margaret Randall V B Price Reviews
Over the years Margaret Randall has managed to create a reputation as a "visionary" among a narrow coterie of admirers, principally among middle-aged vegetarians in Taos and Santa Fe (and a few oldies who remember her adventures among the Sandinistas back in the 1980s). This book of poems, accompanied by good (though somewhat hackneyed) photographic images, shows why her appeal is likely to remain limited. The poems are unoriginal in expression, jejune in theme. When the best among them is entitled "Vulva or Mouth," it is easy to see why readers will find so little to admire in them. Cesar Vallejo and Ernesto Cardenal said it much more elegantly and with a better sense of humor. UNM Press should probably have given this one a pass.
