The Idea of An Entire Life
Poems
Billy-Ray Belcourt
In his characteristic autobiographical and philosophical style, Belcourt’s latest collection explores the past, the value of poetry, the persistence of grief, and the comfort of the northern forest, and draws upon historical documents, art, literature, and criticism. Forms such as sonnets (including a crown of sonnets), erasure poems, ekphrastic poems, field notes, and fragments are used to sometimes humorous, more often heartbreaking, effect.
