Throat
Throat | Ellen van Neerven
4 posts | 4 read | 2 to read
not in Aus, mate bad things don't happen here our beaches are open they are not places where bloodied mattresses burn Throatis the explosive second poetry collection from award-winning Mununjali Yugambeh writer Ellen van Neerven. Exploring love, language and land, van Neerven flexes their distinctive muscles and shines a light on Australia's unreconciled past and precarious present with humour and heart. Van Neerven is unsparing in the interrogation of colonial impulse, and fiercely loyal to telling the stories that make us who we are.

Pickpick

Throat is the sharp and stunning second poetry collection from Mununjali Yugambeh author Ellen Van Neerven. It throbs with recollections of country, family, love, and anger. “The cities that ate Australia“ is particular perfection, as is “Politicians having long showers on stolen land“. I devoured Throat in a single sitting, and I‘m sure I will savour it again over many more. Extended review here: http://keepingupwiththepenguins.com/new-releases/
