After decades of writing poems on cocktail napkins and in the margins of numerous books of poetry by Charles Bukowski, Billy Collins, Sharon Olds, and others, Randall McNair is excited to share his latest work, and love for the art of poetry, with others around the world.

Dispatches From The Swinging Door Saloon is a book of poems by McNair, featuring themes from a decade-long bender inside heaven’s dive bar. McNair drew on experiences from a decade of drinking, reading and writing in dark bars. Inspiration to continue writing, and to ultimately self-publish, came in late 2019 after McNair attended a workshop with poet Billy Collins in Southampton, New York. Collins selected McNair to attend after receiving submissions of old poems he originally wrote on barstools at The Swinging Door Saloon in Tustin, California. 

A self-publication, the poems in Dispatches From The Swinging Door Saloon cover common themes from the “lost decade” of McNair’s life and promise to resonate with readers across the world.

Now seeking support on Kickstarter, funds from this campaign will be used to fund production costs, including editing, printing and inscription of the book. The first Dispatches From The Swinging Door Saloon books are expected to ship worldwide in early August 2020. The Kickstarter campaign is located on the web athttp://kck.st/2zcocKV
