the writing in this book is exceptional but it just wasn't my favourite and it was a bit hard for me to follow. there were a few lines in this book that I really loved though! I would definitely still recommend it.

This book is devastating and beautiful. When this book came out I made sure to grab it right away and I’m so glad that I did.
Belcourt is a poetic genius. This memoir reads beautifully like the rest of his poetry, but is a holistic account of being gay, being Indigenous, and being in a society in which you are always dancing with death.
This made me feel so much. I want to read it over and over again. I want to memorize this book. I want to talk about it every day for the rest of my life.
Read this book.
