' 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.
