Working my way through Throat at the moment

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/
