“When Radio Canada International first erected its short-wave towers on the unspoiled Tantramar Marshes of New Brunswick, tears must have been shed. Now, thanks to the brilliant and poetic documentation in Ghost Stations, we get to witness the life and death of those towers, and to recognize that the marshes — nature itself — will always outlast humanity’s aspirations and depredations. The result is at least a touch cheering, but also poignant.”

> Blake Gopnik, Contributing Critic to the New York Times and author of the comprehensive biography Warhol (Ecco at HarperCollins, 2020)

“The juxtaposition with Soviet-era photography and cinema is striking, but the design also supports that history. It is beautiful!”

> Dr. Annie Guerin, Dean, Faculty of Fine Arts, Concordia University and author of Devastation and Laughter: Satire, Power and Culture in the Early Soviet State, 1920s–1930s (University of Toronto Press, 2018)
