The poignancy of his relationship with his father is celebrated here in the long poem "e;Skies."e; Other poems reminisce about love and the complex resiliency of gay men.Through his signature irreverence, honesty and wit, Nickerson explores what can be repaired, what must be celebrated, and what-inevitably-is lost to time.
