Writing the Emotional Piece

Randall McNair is the author of the multiple award-winning #BarPoems series, published in 2020, 2021 and 2022.  If Charles Bukowski, Sharon Olds, and Billy Collins somehow had a child, Randall McNair would be it. Described by his inner circle as Poet Laureate of the Absurd, McNair spent the better part of a decade drinking himself silly at the Swinging Door Saloon in Tustin, California. While there, he began writing poems that led to the #BarPoems series. He’s a blue-collar guy stuck in a white-collar life bringing the average Joe’s daily frustrations to life in a raw and tongue-in-cheek voice. His poems have been printed in American, British, and Canadian literary journals. McNair splits his time between the SF Bay area, Los Angeles, and the Philippines.
