The launch of Billy-Ray Belcourt's new poetry collection, The Idea of An Entire Life. Belcourt will be joined by Jordan Abel.

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 poems, sometimes heart-breaking, sometimes slyly humorous, are always finely crafted, putting to use the autobiographical and philosophical style that has come to define Belcourt's body of work.
