Throat

I am not aware of my power

you watch me build my weapon

 

Throat is the explosive second poetry collection from award-winning Mununjali Yugambeh author Ellen van Neerven. Exploring love, language, land, van Neerven flexes their muscles and shines a light on Australia's unreconciled past and precarious present with humour and heart. Unsparing in its interrogation of colonial impulse, this book is fiercely loyal to voicing our truth and telling the stories that make us who we are.
