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).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Subbed in","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40406457745523,"sku":"0648147525","price":15.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_010ca343-de99-4f12-b6f3-a9256eed50ba.jpg?v=1662040729","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/girls-and-buoyant-9780648147527","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
