      A mug of beer. A tumbler of whiskey. Relish the results of one poet's reflections during his never-ending journey to the bottom of his glass.   When the status quo seems overwhelmingly bleak, a shooter of something strong can lift the mood. So it's no surprise that this tome brimming with honesty is best served alongside the hair of the dog that inspired it. And down its path through darkness toward low-key revelation, this book for adult readers inspires laughter to ease the pain and peculiarities that accompany ordinary existence.   Embracing booze as his mistress and life's absurdities as his muse, award-winning poet Randall McNair crafts a series of evocative pictures from his routine perch on a barstool. Refusing to shy away from the lows of the human condition, his blunt words cut to the heart of everyday struggles.   If you've ever spent time pondering existence through a bottle, the touch of blue in McNair's paired despair and optimism will strike a chord. Make it a Double is the humorous second volume in the Bar Poems series of gritty verse. If you have a raw love for life, naughty narratives, and creative drinking, then you'll adore Randall McNair's unique slant on poetry.   Buy Make it a Double to pull a pint of poems today!

      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 to stagger home to wisdom today!
