Giroux, (1964). First Edition. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the

Margaret Randall moved from the United States to Mexico in the 1960s and 
married the Mexican poet Sergio Mondragón, with whom she edited the 
journal EL CORNO EMPLUMADO. She involuntarily gave up her American 
citizenship and eventually lived in Cuba, Nicaragua, and spent time in 
North Vietnam during the last months of the U.S. war in that country.
