It is a series of observations written from a chicken coop, a place where life unfolds without speeches, promises, or alibis.\u003cbr\u003eThrough minimal scenes-hunger, noise, punishment, order, obedience-the book confronts the uneasy distance between animal logic and the refined violence of the human world. There are no models to imitate and no consoling lessons, only a silent mirror that returns a persistent question: \u003cb\u003ewhat have we done with the ability to think?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book does not seek answers.\u003cbr\u003eIt interrupts excuses. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor's Note\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI write from observation and discomfort, not from theory or slogans. This book emerged from standing close to a chicken coop and recognizing, in that minimal space, the fractures of human reasoning.\u003cbr\u003eI do not propose solutions or redemptions. I observe, contrast, and take responsibility for the gaze. I write to dismantle alibis-beginning with my own. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEdwin Alverio\u003c\/b\u003e (Puerto Rico) writes from observation, memory, and everyday life.\u003cbr\u003eHe lives and creates in Connecticut, United States. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eCover Credit\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCover: photograph of the chicken coop, taken by the author\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edwin Alverio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798261748465\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/16\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.05d","brand":"Edwin Alverio","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48997341233407,"sku":"9798261748465","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/notes-for-a-species-with-edwin-alverio-9798261748465","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
