With experimental arrangements of text and deep sonic resonance, Chaney affirms herself a virtuoso of transforming stories of identity, marginalization, and race into landscapes at once beautiful and heartbreaking. Part traditional lyric, part dynamic geometric proof, the book invites readers into a concrete collaborative experience. \"I want to tell you a story,\" Chaney writes, and that story is a sweeping exploration of what it means to be a person of color in today's America. \"every story is the same: you trying to erase what I am.\" Chaney counters each erasure by pushing imagination to the edge of the page-quite literally-where words swarm and reform, not unlike watching a flock of starlings move through evening skies. there was this bird turns stone, pebble, lake, and person into a new landscape-one of possibility, of visual art, of song.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 84\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.17 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 25, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47353891193081,"sku":"9781949166101","price":19.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/ypQIfi5nlf9781949166101.webp?v=1769828740","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/there-was-this-bird-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
