Ellen Van Neerven
The explosive second poetry collection from acclaimed Mununjali Yugambeh writer Ellen van Neerven, Throat explores love, language and land. The winner of the NSW Premier’s Literary Awards Indigenous Writers’ Prize, Ellen has been described by Maxine Beneba Clarke (The Hate Race) as a young writer who “best represents all that Australian literature was, is, and will surely be, in the decades to come”.
Hear Ellen talk with Tessa Rose about their irreverent and powerful anthology, which casts a light on our country’s unreconciled past and precarious present.
