I always enjoy Billy-Ray's poetry work. It's succinct, insightful and lyrically confronting. Like always he gives me a lot to think about and reflect as a settler on Turtle Island.

I'm going to go preorder my copy now because there was so much I wanted to highlight but because of the format the Netgalley Shelf wouldn't let me.

This was one of my most anticipated 2025 releases and I absolutely loved it. Billy-Ray Belcourt did it again and The Idea of An Entire Life made me cry. These poems are written beautifully and bring such depth and insight to his experiences as a Queer Cree man. My fave poem was 20th-Century Cree History. I will definitely be reading this collection again!
