savvylit's review against another edition
4.5
This brilliant book blends memoir with honest declarations about memory, indigenous & queer identity, and colonial systems. Belcourt's experience as a poet is instantly clear in the ways that he describes his life and the world around him. Several sentences stopped me in my tracks and made me have to pause to digest. Things like "sometimes I'm a shoreline the water of memory drags its palm across" or "has anyone ever managed not to mould the body into an archive of their own degradation?" I'll keep thinking about A History of My Brief Body for a long, long time.
