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 twenty-first-century anguish, love, queerness, and political possibility. Through lyric verse, sonnets, fieldnotes, and fragments, the poemssometimes heartbreaking, sometimes slyly humorousare always finely crafted, putting to use the autobiographical and philosophical style that has come to define Belcourts body of work. By its close, the collection makes the urgent argument that we are each our own little statues of grief and awe.When I wrote my first book of poetry, reflects Belcourt, I wrote from a place of desperation. I wanted very desperately to live a full queer Indigenous life and I wasnt sure if I would attain it. The Idea of an Entire Life began with the realization that I have that life now and so I wanted to think through the ways a queer Indigenous life is hampered by history but nonetheless full of possibility. What will the rest of my life make available to me? How has the twentieth century indelibly shaped me and my community? The book is about my reserve in northern Alberta, how the past tailgates me wherever I go. Its also about my coming-into-being as a queer Indigenous man and how Ive tried to remake my conditions of living to enable flourishing and possibility.

In the introduction to his selection of some of the greatest sonnets ever written, Paul Muldoon reminds us that of the innumerable traditional verse forms, the sonnet is not only the most persistent but also the most pervasive. He suggests that part of the reason for the durability of the sonnet is its very duration. Its the perfect length for what Dante Gabriel Rossetti described as a moments monument, or Edna St. Vincent Millay as putting chaos into fourteen lines. Among the diverting and diverse poets represented here are Elizabeth Bishop, Wanda Coleman, John Donne, Terrance Hayes, John Keats, Claude McKay, Christina Rossetti, William Shakespeare, Patricia Smith, William Wordsworth, and W.B. Yeats. There are also translations by Paul Muldoon of sonnets by Charles Baudelaire, Rainer Maria Rilke, Cesar Vallejo, as well as the doughty duo of Paul Verlaine and Arthur Rimbaud.
