An unusual artist's book combining humorous free-verse poems celebrating beer with documentary and staged black-and-white photographs by Graham Johnson. The volume juxtaposes deadpan poetic texts with grainy, often surreal photographic imagery of drinking culture, parties, domestic interiors, and urban scenes.
