A Drinker's Poems, Thoughts & Dialogue
On the anniversary, an old man enters a bar to honor the memory of his dear friend who passed away. A collection of poems then aids in telling a story of being in a time where love came at a cost. You will experience the joy of living, loving, and then crying from the pain of it all. Of course, laughter ensues in between—lots and lots of laughter because it is also life. A merry-go-round of raw emotions, this collection of poetry and writings is a testimony to how life was lived, and is meant to be lived…from the perspective of an old drinker.

“The author’s collection is bold and honest. … Experimental in its own way, this collection will appeal to poetry readers who appreciate Bukowski-like verses fueled by a Baudelaire-like existence. Its focus on the day-to-day and even night-to-night happenings of a self-aware speaker makes these unique poetic offerings accessible and engaging.”
