Belcourt considers the genocidal nation-state, queerness, and the limits and potential of representation, often through a poetic\\\/scholarly lineage that includes Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, Saidiya Hartman, Anne Boyer, José Esteban Muñoz, Christina Sharpe, and Gwen Benaway, among others. This is the beautiful achievement of NDN Coping Mechanisms: Belcourt conjures a sovereign literary space that refuses white sovereignty and is always already in relation to the ideas of the foremost decolonial poets and thinkers of Turtle Island.","OtherText_Accolades_2_Auth":"Mercedes Eng, author of Prison Industrial Complex Explodes","OtherText_Back_cover_copy_0":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWINNER OF THE GRIFFIN POETRY PRIZE:\u003c\\\/strong\u003e\u003c\\\/p\u003e\\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eBilly-Ray Belcourt made history as the youngest-ever winner of the Griffin Poetry Prize for his previous collection, \u003cem\u003eThis Wound is a World.\u003c\\\/em\u003e\u003c\\\/li\u003e\\n\u003c\\\/ul\u003e\\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAWARD WINNING DEBUT COLLECTION:\u003c\\\/strong\u003e\u003c\\\/p\u003e\\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eBelcourt’s debut collection \u003cem\u003eThis Wound is a World\u003c\\\/em\u003e was named the Most Significant Book of Poetry in English by an Emerging Indigenous Writer at the 2018 Indigenous Voices Award.

Walt Whitman, Tom Petty, Alec Baldwin, Doug Stanhope, Journey, Judd Nelson, Billy Ripken, Johnny Weissmuller, Don Felder, Lindsay Lohan, Shiprock, NM, the police blotter at Point Reyes Station, California, and the moons of Saturn are all poised to make their case in the poet’s latest deliberations.\u003c\/p\u003e","EAN":"9781487001995","excerpt_0":"https:\/\/biblioshare.org\/BNCservices\/BNCServices.asmx\/Samples?token=fcf85c1c1b298e99\u0026amp;ean=9781487001995\u0026amp;SAN=\u0026amp;Perspective=excerpt\u0026amp;FileNumber=0","Height":"8.5","HeightCode":"in","Imprint":"House of Anansi Press","MetaKeywords":"award winning poet; revolver; drift; contemporary poetry; canadian poetry; modernity; twitter; introspective; canlit; poems; the road in is not the same road out; karen solie; return to the city of white donkeys; james tate; methodist hatchet; ken babstock; poetry collector; gift book","NumberOfPages":"88","OtherText_ShortDescription_0":"This specially designed and bound hardcover First Edition of Kevin Connolly's poetry collection Xiphoid Process is limited to 50 copies.","ProductFormDescription":"hardcover special edition","PublicationDate":"2017-04-08","Publisher":"House of Anansi Press Inc","ShortDescription":"This specially designed and bound hardcover First Edition of Kevin Connolly's poetry collection Xiphoid Process is limited to 50 copies.","Subtitle":"Special Edition","Width":"5.5","WidthCode":"in"}
