From Library Journal<\/p>\n

Randall gained some notoriety when the INS attempted to deport her under the McCarran-Walter Act, despite the fact that she was born an American citizen. The incident seems to have affected Randall deeply, for many of her poems explore the idea of ‘home.’ She speaks of ‘my body coming home,’ of ‘Always going home,’ of ‘a place to be home,’ and finally ‘When she goes home at last.’ Her political views are apparent in many poems; and though poetry is sometimes sacrificed to polemics, the voice is always compassionate as well as committed. ‘Lovers can live in the world\/ if they work at it,’ says Randall, who seems willing to do that work in her poems, where she seems most at home.Grace Bauer, Virginia Polytechnic Inst. & State Univ.<\/p>\n
