Poetry. Selected by Cynthia Arrieu-King for the Hilary Tham Capital Collection. Chaney's poems travel a landscape of joy and rage, self and society, this very moment and all our troubled history. Each poem presents itself uniquely, sometimes in a form never seen before, reminiscent of scat and improvisational jazz or dance. Chaney explores our encounters with the body, with the self's body, and the body politic, creating, according to Arrieu-King, "a matrix for transformations," especially the transformations of Black women.
