I kept having to put the book down because I was so overwhelmed at how astounding the poetry is.
“Power, however mundane, is never minuscule.” - Canadian Horror Story, Billy-Ray Belcourt
2 smart 4 me. I'm excited to reread, and I'll need to do so with my phone handy for googling. Likely more notes to come as I digest and process. Very very very good.
"Someone drops dead,
but he isn't white so no one is there to see it.
Expect everyone is there to see it,
they are just too busy thinking about how much
they have changed for the better to open their fucking eyes" - From the poem "I Believe I Exist"

Billy-Ray Belcourt has knocked it out of the park again with another beautiful, magnificent collection of poetry. NDN Coping Mechanisms: Notes from the Field is a truly brilliant and moving collection that plays with ideas old and new and gives us a wide variety of form. I loved this at least as much as I loved This Wound is a World.
Highly recommended. I will always be eager to read more from Billy-Ray Belcourt.

Mostly poetry, some prose, some art. Read I think 90% of it, understood about 20% of it, and was left with the profound feeling that while Mr. Belcourt has a PhD, I do not. I think if I took like a semester to study this book, I'd get a lot more out of it, but as it was I mostly didn't understand it.
