McPoems

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).
