Emily Crocker complicates home and family in her debut poetry collection, Girls and Buoyant. With sensitivity and wry observation, Crocker explores old suburbs and new losses at the intersection of late capitalism and queer love.


Pinky-promise me you won't die tonight.

You shook my little finger back.

I put the car keys on the bedside anyway

and held your cells, rocking themselves apart,

together until the pharmacy reopened.

Crocker, Emily: - Emily Crocker is a poet, educator, and organiser who now lives, learns, works, and writes in Naarm (Melbourne). Emily's work in all arenas is informed by a politics of queer togetherness and class criticism, developed through lived experience and invaluable community connections. Emily grew up on Dharawal land in outer south-western Sydney, and came of age in Wollongong's spoken word scene. Since then, she has created poetic and performance works with Shopfront Arts Coop and Campbelltown Arts Centre, and has been commissioned by Wollongong Writers Festival, Merrigong Theatre, and Red Room Poetry. Education is central to Emily's practice and she has facilitated workshops in countless schools, youth centres, community places, and libraries. Emily completed a Bachelor of Arts at the University of Wollongong and is currently working towards a Master of Teaching through the University of Melbourne. In The Drink is her second collection, following Girls and Buoyant (Subbed In, 2017).
