Vertigo of Risk

Margaret Randall''s latest poetry collection is perhaps her finest work yet. Vertigo of Risk is, as Denise Chávez calls it, Randall''s Master Opus-a "Testimonio to a life lived in the blessed search of Truth." The series of poems called "Dearest," which read as letters to friends and inspirations, leads into a sharpened assembly of pieces that both celebrates and champions life and art, all with Randall''s rich candor and ear for language throughout.
