Join us this Sunday at Casa Perez, Donald Judd's ranch house in Pinto Canyon, from 11-4, where we'll be selling books as a part of Judd Foundation's annual Ranch Day. There's no ticket required, although you will want a high clearance vehicle. Events include music by Primo Carrasco and David Beebe; free food by Fat Lyle's; a hike led by Randy Sanchez; and talks by Louis Harveson of Borderlands Research Institute and Deidre Hisler of The Nature Conservancy! It's always a great time and a rare chance to visit Judd's otherwise very remote house. We're very excited to be a part of this great West Texas tradition.

After nearly twelve years of printing and selling t shirts, I've finally purchased a flip n fold. Somewhere in the distance, I hear a choir singing, "Hallelujah". Now you can look forward to a lovely stack, rather than a pile, of t shirts when you visit us! Here's the new @westtxcloudappreciationsoc t shirt. $20 each, available in all sizes. They'll be on the website next week in this color, already therein white. Design by @cashiolabros @philly_cash #marfabookco #marfa
John Ashbery was at the forefront of poetry in English from as early as 1956 when his first full-length book, Some Trees, was published. That's a year before "On The Road", by the way. It took a lot of people until the late 70s to begin to recognize his achievements, although his work continued to receive a lot of begrudging acknowledgement even then. Read today, even the earliest work seems wildly prescient or even contemporary. In the second poem here, Ashbery includes a "Who Cares?" midway through that's both totally irreverent and marvelously funny. The other photo here is the second part of "The Mythological Poet" also included in Some Trees. #marfabookco #marfa #ashbery #johnashbery
