The story of love, liquor, poetry n' dreams and the 'stranger at the bar.' It is best read late at night with the lights dimmed low, and when at all possible just a little drunk.

"EIGHTEEN STRAIGHT WHISKEYS" by Michael Easton,
By A Customer
This review is from: Eighteen Straight Whiskeys (Paperback)
This poetry book's pages are full of literary talent which I consider to be BRAVISSIMO!! Michael Easton uses his intellectual abilities in poetic recounts about his past days of destitution and squalor, plus his struggles with substance abuse and relationships when fortune and success found him. In my honest opinion the book is well worth a reader's investment of time and money, especially for the tributes this poet makes to his Mom and Grandmother in a couple of his muses.

The Most Under-Rated Actor and Writer Of Our Time!,
By zanne "zanne" (Orlando, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eighteen Straight Whiskeys (Paperback)
I am not a big fan of poetry, but this book is different. It is prolific in the way his poetry truly tells a story. Michael Easton's life IS the story and how he pulled himself out of a "dark time" in his life. Now I understand the saying "Art Imitates Life". I believe Mr. Easton has been acting the past fifteen years(most recently in daytime). I truly believe he is more talented than the highly paid actors of our time, such as Nicholas Cage, etc. It has brought me new respect of actors on daytime television.

Life, as viewed through an amber colored bottle...,
By "agrandy" (Plymouth, MN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eighteen Straight Whiskeys (Paperback)
This is an incredibly hard edged, raw collection of poems from an obviously difficult time in Mr. Easton's life. Even through the haze of alcohol and/or drugs, he still felt the pull of the written and spoken word, and was able to project that life to us in an eloquent, albiet blunt, way. I truly hope to see more poems from Mr. Easton, this time from a perhaps more sober and introspective view. My favorites are Poem 37, Pictures, Tantalus and Love Letter. Bravo, Mr. Easton, and thank you.(A word of warning - the rawness and crude language of many of the poems are not for everyone, please keep that in mind. Even still, it's a great book of poetry and may remind many of their youthful party days).
