Produktbeschreibung
Broken into five sections-The Status Quo, The Descent, Death in the Middle, The Rising, and Return with the Elixir-"Make it a Double" is a heartfelt, humorous recounting of what it was like for the poet to be stuck on a barstool year after year over a ten year period, ruminating on his Joe Sixpack existence. The second in award winning poet Randall McNair's Bar Poems series, "Make it a Double" builds on the momentum of "Dispatches from the Swinging Door Saloon," resurrecting images of McNair's dead kin, his despair and the struggles of managing his marriage and his relationship "with the mistress, booze." McNair's love for life-though buried in a bottle of whiskey-is evident throughout its pages. If you enjoy raw, gritty, unique images used to paint pictures of love, life and self-loathing, then you'll love this volume of blue collar poetry "written by a man for men."
Autorenporträt
Randall McNair, self-proclaimed Poet Laureate of the Absurd, spent the better part of a decade drinking himself silly at the Swinging Door Saloon in Tustin, California. While there, he was inspired to put pen to paper by a combination of Charles Bukowski, Billy Collins, Sharon Olds & the muse at large. His Poetry CV includes a BA in English (Creative Writing) from CSU Long Beach in 2002, the 2002 Key West Literary Seminar's Advanced Poetry Workshop with Sharon Olds, the 2009 Key West Literary Seminar's Advanced Poetry Workshop with Billy Collins and the 2019 Southampton Writers Conference 10-day Advanced Poetry Workshop also with Billy Collins. McNair's work has been published in both American and Canadian literary journals. He lives in Alameda, California, with his wife and young son.
