Belcourt offers poetic insight into the otherness of being both First Nations and queer; at "failing at boyhood" and carving out a space in the white, heteronormative and appropriative higher education world. But then there are passages where he asks a potential Tinder date to describe the "texture of his sadness," which is an example of what you'd expect from an MFA writing course. Kind of insufferable poetic assides.
