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.
