Hey, Marfa makes a remarkable poetic accounting of the ways imagination is currently working with &amp; against the histories &amp; myths of the US/Mexico borderlands &amp; the American West.”–Tim Johnson; “Hey, Marfa a commonplace book, memoir, &amp; hybrid obituary for things: following a trail of ‘last words’ &amp; communal losses, here is a History learning to listen with eyes &amp; Mourning recovering the dead travelers on the road. Hey, Marfa transmits voltage or vitalized matter as words reach to words.”–Susan Howe<br>
