About
This chapbook was designed and produced by artist Yuchen Chang for the winner of Center for Book Arts' 25th Anniversary Chapbook Competition Bianca Rae Messinger in 2021. CBA's Annual Chapbook Competition is an open call for poets to submit manuscripts. Submissions are reviewed blindly by a Guest Judge who selects one winner and two runners-up. As part of the awards package, CBA publishes respective limited-edition chapbooks for the Guest Judge and Competition Winner as well as respective limited-edition broadsides for the runners-up. 2021 Competition Guest Judge Simone White selected Messinger's Parallel Bars as the winning manuscript. Of Parallel Bars White said, “This group of poems changes on each page, apparently enacting what it says, ‘feeling what it’s like to feel things over a continuum instead of a sharp peak and valley.’ It’s not that this sentiment is so much a breakthrough (this statement is not unlike William James’ about ‘feelings of and,’ to take one example of how the century has dealt with writing feelings)—it’s the invention of an explosive, wry diagrammatic specific talking that makes the group of poems so great and makes them stand independent, wanting their own small book.” As part of the 2021 Competition, CBA also published a limited-edition chapbook for White that was designed and produced by CBA 2020-2021 Book Artist-in-Residence Alva Mooses. In addition, published limited-edition broadsides for the respective Competition Runners-Up: Dujie Tahat's was designed and produced by another CBA 2020-2021 Book Artist-in-Residence, Oswaldo García, and Benjamin Aleshire's was designed and produced by Allison Carter Beaulé.Shipping Notes

You get what you pay for
Color: 6692：Silver strap&blue dial
I thought I'd give this a try but when I took it out of the box, it was the cheapest built watch I ever bought.
You get what you pay for. It was supper light so I don't believe it was stainless wrist band. Felt more like potted metal. Never again.

Good basic watch
Smaller than I expected but super nice we'll built. Offers day in English and Spanish. Stylish but simple. Easy to read the time and date.

Classy, comfortable, accurate
My previous Casio has gotten pretty beat up. So I wanted another Casio without spending a lot. I also need it do have both day and date. A metal band is a must. I sweat a lot and leather doesn’t last. The band needs to adjust perfectly to my relatively thin wrist. First, I like the style of the face - simple and easy to read. The watch isn’t real fancy which is fine with me. The band took a bit of adjusting and came out perfectly. It’s not too heavy and retains good accuracy. Can’t beat the price. Only thing I wish it had was 24 hour sub-dial instead of elapsed minutes. I think it’s a great value and a nice looking everyday watch.

Very nice watch but hands need to be larger and luminous
It’s a very nice looking watch. Band adjustment is not difficult using the tools that come with th watch- and it’s very attractive. The watch could stand to be improved by by making the Hands larger and by making them luminous. The watch is very comfortable to wear . It may be a little large for a small wrist but it’s not gigantic. I haven’t checked the accuracy but it appears that the watch doesn’t lose or gain time.

Literally just a good watch, absolutely nothing to complain about
Ive had two versions of this watch, the leather strap version and this metal version. The only weak point on my old watch was the leather strap.
This thing is simple, elegant, and practical, couldn't really ask more from a watch. It holds up pretty well and doesn't scratch too easily (if you have a labor intensive job you might want a glass protector). I've had mine for a couple months now and it only has a few very faint scratches but that's just because im rough on my watches lol. I would recommend this to literally anybody
