Description
"queer: definition: knowing that your body is both too much and not enough for this world." B.-RB We can imagine that Billy-Ray Belcourt understands poetry as Audre Lorde conceived it, that is to say as a "revelatory distillation of experience", an honest exploration of feelings that are transformed, through the action of the text, into "fertile ground for the most radical and audacious ideas". The feelings evoked by Belcourt are those of queerness: indigeneity and genderfuck are expressed as an often failed performance by the poet who cannot find a body that is compatible with his own, in the era of dating apps like Grindr, for a true erotic and emotional sharing.
