A history of my brief body : a memoir / Billy-Ray Belcourt. by Belcourt, Billy-Ray. Hamish Hamilton, an imprint of Penguin Canada, 2020. Call #: 306.766 B427h Subjects Belcourt, Billy-Ray.   Belcourt, Billy-Ray -- Childhood and youth.   Cree First Nation -- Alberta -- Biography.   Gay men -- Canada -- Biography.   Poets, Canadian (English) -- 21st century -- Biography. ISBN:  9780735237780 (hc.) Description:  173 p. ; 20 cm. Notes:  Subtitle from cover. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references. Summary:  "Billy-Ray Belcourt's debut memoir opens with a tender letter to his kokum and memories of his early life in the hamlet of Joussard, Alberta, and on the Driftpile First Nation. From there, it expands to encompass the big and broken world around him, in all its complexity and contradictions: a legacy of colonial violence and the joy that flourishes in spite of it, first loves and first loves lost, sexual exploration and intimacy, and the act of writing as a survival instinct and a way to grieve. What emerges is not only a profound meditation on memory, gender, anger, shame, and ecstasy, but also the outline of a way forward. With startling honesty, and in a voice distinctly and assuredly his own, Belcourt situates his life experiences within a constellation of seminal queer texts, among which this book is sure to earn its place. Eye-opening, intensely emotional, and excessively quotable, A History of My Brief Body demonstrates over and over again the power of words to both devastate and console us."--Goodreads.
