Throat Throat Throat by Ellen van Neerven Irreverent and courageous, Throat is a fierce cry that fights to be heard. This is van Neerven’s most powerful work yet. 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 writer Ellen van Neerven. Exploring love, language and 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.
