Synopsis

 

Compelling and shocking, dive into Faolan's true story, a raw hummingbird. 

  

a raw hummingbird: book 1 of 1000 pages of real emails, online chats, handwritten letters ~ condensed into a trilogy.

 

a raw hummingbird shares the secrets of Faolan's first, closeted queer relationship with another girl named Sage. 

 

In this book you will sit in Faolan's pocket..and begin asking all the questions you may have about yourself, or might crave to.

 

Chapters fall as independent art forms as words scatter and shatter on the pages, the placement of each letter as important as the semantic meaning of the word. "Ergodic literature" format.

 

Every facet of life is forced into interrogation: Delinquency. Sexual Orientation. Addiction. Friendship. Violence. Determination. Family and Chosen Family. Growth. Discovery. Failure. Personal Revolution. True Love. Journals. Emails. Truth.

Be real with a raw hummingbird.  Dive in.
