SUMMARY:Billy-Ray Belcourt Launches NDN Coping Mechanisms
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we celebrate the launch of Billy-Ray Belcourt’s latest book: NDN Coping Mechanisms! \nIn the follow-up to his Griffin Poetry Prize–winning collection\, This Wound is a World\, Billy-Ray Belcourt aims more of an anthropological eye at the contours of NDN and queer social worlds to spot much that is left unsaid when we look only to the mainstream media. In this genre-bending work\, Belcourt employs poetry\, poetics\, prose\, and textual art to illuminate the rogue possibilities bubbling up everywhere NDNs are. \nNDN Coping Mechanisms: Notes from the Field emerges out of a form of auto/ethnographic sensibility that is at turns campy and playful\, jarring and candid\, displaying\, once again\, the writer’s extraordinary craft\, guile\, audacity\, and the sheer dexterity of his imagination. \n〰️️〰️️〰️️ \nLibrairie Drawn & Quarterly recognizes that our events and bookstores are located on the unceded territory of the Kanien’kehá:ka. Many of us refer to Montreal as our home\, but it is named Tiohtiá:ke. This has always been a gathering place for many First Nations and continues to be home to a diverse population of Indigenous peoples. It is important to think about how each and every one of us has arrived here. We are grateful that creating and sharing stories has been a part of this land for thousands of years and we urge you to seek out a story that is different from your own. \n〰️️〰️️〰️️ \nLa Petite Drawn and Quarterly Accessibility information: \n– Our event space uses StopGap.ca ramps in an effort to encourage accessibility. Both the step at the entrance\, followed by a half step and a door have StopGap ramps. The door opens inward and is not automated. Once inside\, there are no additional steps.\n– It is not a sober space\, our events sometimes offer alcohol. \n♥️ Please email events@drawnandquarterly.com if you have any accessibility needs we can accommodate (for example\, saving you a seat if you have mobility needs) for you to be able to enjoy our events\, worry-free\, and feel free to contact us for any concerns you may have ♥️
