Coexistence: Stories by Billy-Ray Belcourt

5.0

This is the second book I’ve read by Billy-Ray Belcourt, and I loved it just as much as the first. 

I appreciated the ways these stories weave together, painting a picture of sexuality, history, death, remembrance, survival, love, art, and meaning making, all through the experience of living in the shadow of colonialism. 

I highlighted so many lines in this book. It’s such a poetic exploration, full of insights that are going to sit with me for a long time.
