Lanser Howard and Steve Boint have joined together to recount adventures, some perhaps real, some perhaps imaginary, in colorful pubs of this world. Taken as a whole, these poems, essays, and stories paint an accurate picture of the culture found in non-corporate bars. Howard writes with a vigorous, youthful style; Boint writes in a more contemplative voice. The overall effect is both a thoughtful exploration and a joyful celebration of people gathering together on nights and weekends.
