Description
Beer goggles, whiskey staggers, and a martini for a muse create an old-fashioned cocktail of toughness in this saloon-centered book of verse. When it’s time to wind down at the end of the day, the comfort of a neighborhood dive can’t be beat. But when a poet starts downing drinks, the scribbled marks on his bar napkin result in a raw and rough-hewn look at man’s most heartfelt emotions. And with alcohol-driven acuity, this book helps every whistle-wetter, day-drinker, and bartender find new enjoyment in the hardships and happiness of mundane existence. From hilarious haiku to self-loathing limericks, soul-searcher and award-winning writer Randall McNair’s carefully honed craft shines in this drunkenly introspective measure of human consciousness. Covering a wide range of themes that confront the absurdities of life head-on, this collection showcases his willingness to drink the dregs and come back for more. If you’ve ever thought of poets as staid or incomprehensible, the burn of McNair’s high-proof stanzas will transform your viewpoint and take you on an unforgettable journey. Last Call is the third volume in the Bar Poems series of vividly chaotic verse. If you like honest humor, dark insights, and rhyming under the influence, then you’ll love Randall McNair’s top-shelf shot of poetry. Buy Last Call and stagger home to wisdom today!
