Rigorous in research and thought yet accessible in language and imagery, this collection weaves lyric verse, sonnets, field notes, and fragments to examine the delicate facets of queer Indigeneity. Belcourt contends with the afterlife of what he calls 'the long twentieth century,' a period marked by assaults on Indigenous life, and his people's enduring resistance. The poems, sometimes heartbreaking, other times sly and humorous, are marked by 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. His third book of poetry and sixth across genres, Billy-Ray Belcourt's The Idea of an Entire Life leaves readers with a vision for queer Indigenous life as it is shaped by a violent history--and yet pulled toward a more flourishing future"-- Provided by Amazon.]]></description><link>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S246C1292820</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S246C1292820</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Belcourt, Billy-Ray]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1292820246</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Poems</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780807022405/MC.GIF&amp;client=sepup&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love Is A Dangerous Word]]></title><description><![CDATA["For three decades, the legacy of the revered writer, editor, performer, and activist Essex Hemphill has been lovingly sustained through xeroxed copies of his few published works. They are as potent now as they were in the 1980s. With tenderness and rage, Hemphill's poems unflinchingly explore the complex, overlapping identities of sexuality, gender, and race; the American political landscape; and his own experiences as a black gay man during the AIDS crisis. Edited by John Keene and Robert F. Reid-Pharr, Love Is a Dangerous Word contains selections from Hemphill's only published full-length collection, Ceremonies-named one of the 25 most influential works of postwar queer literature by the New York Times-alongside rarely seen poems from magazines and chapbooks.

He catalogs Sylvia Plath's recipe cards and all the references to beer in a book by Bernadette Mayer. His subjects are as 'fun' as his forms: pop singer Dusty Springfield, Marcel Proust, BashM, Hollywood movies and actresses, old cartoons, a prom dress thief loose in a girls' dorm.

A noted formalist, with a flair for experiment, pattern and the use of constraints, Stephenson has written a remarkable first book, moving and, despite everything, a hopeful record of a gay relationship.

Part One examines the rhythms of everyday life, which include the terrible beauty of the reserve, the afterlives of history, and the grammar of anal sex. Part Two experiments with form and practice, putting to use, for example, a mode of documentary poetics that unearths the logics that make and unmake texts like Treaty 8.

Don't Call Us Dead opens with a heartrending sequence that imagines an afterlife for black men shot by police, a place where suspicion, violence, and grief are forgotten and replaced with the safety, love, and longevity they deserved here on earth. Smith turns then to desire, mortality-the dangers experienced in skin and body and blood-and a diagnosis of HIV positive. "Some of us are killed / in pieces," Smith writes, "some of us all at once." Don't Call Us Dead is an astonishing and ambitious collection, one that confronts, praises, and rebukes America-"Dear White America"-where every day is too often a funeral and not often enough a miracle.]]></description><link>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S246C888526</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S246C888526</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Smith, Danez]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/888526246</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle>Poems</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781684577378/MC.GIF&amp;client=sepup&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[IRL]]></title><description><![CDATA[Winner of the inaugural Brooklyn Public Library Literary AwardFinalist for the 2018 Kate Tufts Discovery AwardIRL is a sweaty, summertime poem composed like a long text message, rooted in the epic tradition of A.R. Ammons, ancient Kumeyaay Bird Songs, and Beyoncé's visual albums. It follows Teebs, a reservation-born, queer NDN weirdo, trying to figure out his impulses/desires/history in the midst of Brooklyn rooftops, privacy in the age of the Internet, street harassment, suicide, boys boys boys, literature, colonialism, religion, leaving one's 20s, and a love/hate relationship with English. He's plagued by an indecision, unsure of which obsessions, attractions, and impulses are essentially his, and which are the result of Christian conversion, hetero-patriarchal/colonialist white supremacy, homophobia, Bacardi, gummy candy, and not getting laid. IRL asks, what happens to a modern, queer indigenous person a few generations after his ancestors were alienated from their language, their religion, and their history? Teebs feels compelled towards 'boys, burgers, booze,' though he begins to suspect there is perhaps a more ancient goddess calling to him behind art, behind music, behind poetry.]]></description><link>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S246C954578</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S246C954578</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Pico, Tommy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/954578246</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781518991110/MC.GIF&amp;client=sepup&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Capsid]]></title><description><![CDATA[The book is a long-form essay that incorporates eight prose poems, each one inspired by a different phase in the life cycle of HIV. A person infected with a virus is called a host, and that makes the virus the guest, and sometimes a guest becomes a friend, and sometimes a friend becomes a lover. Osmundson explores the intimacy of the relatioinship between an HIV-positive person and his virus. His scientific perspective makes this young gay man an especially poignant singer of this love song.]]></description><link>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S246C727594</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S246C727594</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Osmundson, Joseph]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2016 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/727594246</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Love Song</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781945023033/MC.GIF&amp;client=sepup&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[IRL]]></title><description><![CDATA[Composed as a long text message, this poem asks what happens to a modern, queer indigenous person a few generations after his ancestors were alienated from their language, their religion, and their history.]]></description><link>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S246C704548</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S246C704548</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Pico, Tommy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2016 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/704548246</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780991429868/MC.GIF&amp;client=sepup&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
