$22.99

 

“Romance just out of reach, the sobering distance between loneliness and solitude, these poems, filled with women, war, desire, abortion, booze and despair chronicle DeGroat’s fascinating existence. Nothing’s off limits. Part poetry, part travelogue, this collection will dance right into your heart. I could not stop reading.”

–Alexis Rhone Fancher, author of BRAZEN (NYQ Books 2023)

 

“With raw honesty and humble introspection, DeGroat crafts each poem to tell a story that is precise, yet esoteric. His ability to evoke an emotional response in the reader is unparalleled. He eloquently tackles taboo subjects and examines controversial topics with an air of grace. DeGroat exudes a coolness that is contagious, mixed with playful self-deprecation that makes you root for him and leaves you wanting more.”

–Kelly Thomas, Literary Agent at Serendipity Literary Agency & Developmental Editor at Editorial Freelance Association

Set against the backdrop of humanity’s dwindling days, Now We Drink Alone In The Dark is a meditation on the existence of the plagued and the hopeful; on human resilience in the face of dizzying madness. DeGroat’s poetry reads as part travelogue and part journal; park black comedy and part avant-garde ramblings, touching on themes of love, loss, depression, american politics, life across the pond, pandemic one night stands, and laughing while crying.  A collection to be revisited time and time again, this is the first book of many from DeGroat that will continue soothe the reader’s soul, as we collectively approach the precipice of time.

Matthew DeGroat is a writer and musician, currently based in New York City. His poetry is emotionally bittersweet, poignant and honest and when not writing or performing with his band, LUV DOT GOV, DeGroat can be found vagabonding around Europe, or seeking out his next favorite scotch whisky in a dark and quiet Manhattan pub.
