Beskrivelse
With After Hours, Selected Bar Prose Vol. II, St. Augustine's resident prose poet, William Williamson is back with volume two following the first book, Last Call, Selected Bar Prose. The focus is still in St. Augustine, William's adapted hometown, a town not as well known for its revelry or debauchery like Key West or New Orleans but since its founding 450 years ago, there have always been bars, saloons, pubs and taverns where hungry and thirsty souls came for food, spirits, company and entertainment. Almost five centuries later, it's not the sleepy carriage town of the past, neon lights and signs have replaced lanterns at the grog houses downtown, on the beach and the strip malls, beckoning those who wish to come in their doors to taste and share the night. After Hours, Selected Bar Prose Vol. II, the second compilation of twenty years of work chosen from fifteen different prose books written by William Williamson, captures the gauntlet of behavior and emotions, the conversations and moments that is found in places where people congregate to drink, sharing their life with friends and shedding their skin to strangers. Laughter, loneliness, longing, sadness, boredom, the possibility of someone entering your life or walking out of it, changing your yesterday, the good memories we remember and the bad times we would rather forget, permeates, again, throughout William's latest book of prose.
