Traces the remarkable life of a feminist poet through the items and
images that have have defined her experiences My Life in 100
Objects is a personal reflection on the events and moments that
shaped the life and work of one extraordinary woman. With a
masterful, poetic voice, Margaret Randall uses talismanic objects
and photographs as launching points for her nonlinear narrative.
Through each "object," Randall uncovers another part of herself,
starting in a museum in Amman, Jordan, and ending in the Latin
American Studies Association in Boston. Interwoven throughout are
her most precious relationships, her growth as an artist, and her
brave, revolutionary spirit. As Randall's adventures often coincide
with important moments in history, many of her objects provide a
transcontinental glimpse into social upheavals and transitions. She
shares memories from her years in Cuba (1969 to 1980) and Nicaragua
(1980 to 1984), as well as briefer periods in North Vietnam
(immediately preceding the end of the war in 1975), and Peru
(during the government of Velasco Alvarado). In her introduction,
Randall states, "objects and places have always been alive to me."
Her history too is alive, as much of a means to consider our own
present as it is to glimpse her vibrant past.
