Writer in Residence Billeh Nickerson Welcome Event
Each year the UFV Writer in Residence program welcomes an accomplished Canadian writer to inspire students, mentor aspiring writers, and provide practical advice on publishing. The Writer in Residence works with faculty and students, visits classes, consults one-on-one with students, and enriches the local literary community by participating in both UFV and community events.
Billeh Nickerson is the author of five books including the 2014 City of Vancouver Book Award nominated Artificial Cherry. He is also a former editor of PRISM international and Event—two of Canada’s most respected literary journals—and a previous writer-in-residence at both Queen’s University and at the Berton House in Dawson City, Yukon. He’s currently co-editing Valley: A Poetry Anthology with Surrey Poet Laureate Renee Sarojini Saklikar. He grew up in Langley, and now resides in East Vancouver.
