Career
In 2026, Tin House published Drake's first full-length collection, Maybe the Body.[2][4] In its annual prepublication roundup, Library Journal listed Maybe the Body among major forthcoming books and wrote that the collection "reveals how our very bodies are shaped by sociopolitical forces".[5]
Publishers Weekly's review emphasized the collection's treatment of assimilation and generational inheritance,[2] while the Southern Review of Books described Maybe the Body as a work exploring "personal and political connections to place".[3]
Drake is also the author of Beauty Talk (forthcoming), which won the 2024 Noemi Press Book Award.[4]
