28: An Evening with Billy-Ray Belcourt
28: An Evening with Billy-Ray Belcourt
SOLD OUT
Some writers are so talented, and so transcendent, that you wonder how they haven’t been part of the canon for generations. Billy-Ray Belcourt is one of those writers: the youngest-ever winner of the prestigious Griffin Poetry Prize; a national bestseller and multi-awardwinning memoirist for A History of My Brief Body; and a celebrated professor, writer, and scholar from the Driftpile Cree Nation. He’ll talk more about his work to date, including his debut novel, A Minor Chorus: an urgent story about breaching the prisons we live inside. Jordan Tannahill once said, “I’m calling it now. Billy-Ray Belcourt will win the Nobel Prize for Literature one day.” Don’t miss your chance to hear from this brilliant, daring literary voice. Hosted by Mercedes Eng.
