Dead People Whispering to Us

Moving across a range of sites and situations, Dead People Whispering to Us is a book of stealth, where the author’s listening-writing practice attends to the disappearances and invisibilities shaping much of contemporary life. Author and artist Israel Martínez writes his own book of the dead, chronicling the necropolitical reality in Mexico through a persistent belief in social change realized between friends and strangers. The dead, for Martínez, become guides toward a form of poetic activism.
