'In The Drink' is the unflinching second poetry collection from Emily Crocker. Poems stream through ' In The Drink ', collecting hauntings of desire and futures lost. Visceral and at times crushingly funny, ' In The Drink' truly makes poetry of a working class queerness. Every afternoon you bring out the scraps. Shoes off, shirt unbuttoned, head open. The hens flocking like ravenous mourners, flustered through the motions, dusty and grey.
