Description
This week on the show, we talk with Margaret Randall. Margaret Randall is a legendary poet, activist, and many other things! In addition to plenty of poems, she’s written a ton of books, including Christians in the Nicaraguan Revolution, which is a series of interviews she did with Christian Sandinistas, and Exporting Revolution (just to name a few). She spent her life in revolutionary moments, from Mexico in 1968 to Cuba’s most prosperous period to working in the Sandinista government. She even knew Ernesto Cardenal before he was a priest!
In the interview, we get to hear about her relationship to liberation theology, her life in Cuba, and her experience making socialist media in Nicaragua. You can find more of her work at margaretrandall.org, which we’ll link in the show notes. And you should, because she’s written a ton of great stuff!
You can find the poetry archives El Corno Emplumado that we talk about briefly here:
