Description

Billeh Nickerson's first poetry book, The Asthmatic Glassblower, was shortlisted for the Publishing Triangle's Gay Men's Poetry Award. The hilarious and illuminating poems in his new collection, McPoems, are based on his years working at a particularly well-known fast-food restaurant; they paint a vivid picture of life behind the counter and will resonate with anyone who has ever held a fast-food job. Hold the pickle!

Billeh Nickerson's other books include the essay collection Let Me Kiss It Better and Seminal: The Anthology of Canada's Gay Male Poets. He has taught poetry at Kwantlen University College (Vancouver) and Queen's University (Kingston, Ontario).
