Book
The idea of an entire life : poems / Billy-Ray Belcourt.
"Daring and vulnerable, this is the highly anticipated new collection from Griffin Poetry Prize winner Billy-Ray Belcourt. In The Idea Of An Entire Life, Belcourt delivers an intimate examination of 21st century anguish, love, queerness, and political possibility. Through lyric verse, sonnets, field notes, and fragments, the poems, sometimes heart-breaking, sometimes slyly humorous, are always finely crafted, putting to use the autobiographical and philosophical style that has come to define Belcourt's body of work. By its close, the collection makes the urgent argument that we are each our own little statues of both grief and awe"-- Provided by publisher.
