Review: The Marfa Blues
*The Marfa Blues* is a thoroughly enjoyable yarn with the most diverse and engaging characters I’ve encountered in a long time. Having lived in West Texas myself, the idea of a book based on the little town of Marfa intrigued me. But this story was so much more than setting. The book starts in the 19th century when Maximilian, Emperor of Mexico, sends troops north with wagons loaded with his treas

the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.”

“If the lost word is lost, if the spent word is spent
If the unheard, unspoken
Word is unspoken, unheard;
Still is the spoken word, the Word unheard,
The Word without a word, the Word within
The world and for the world;
And the light shone in the darkness and
Against the Word the unstilled world still whirled
About the center of the silent Word.
Oh my people, what have I done unto thee.
Where shall the word be found, where shall the word
Resound? Not here, there is not enough silence”
