Writing in the Expanded Field IV: Touching Feeling Writing (Audio-only)

In our final ACCA Book Club, Ellen van Neerven discusses 'Throat', their newly published poetry collection, which explores love, language and land, and shines a light on Australia’s unreconciled past and precarious present with humour and heart.
