From the 2023 David Unaipon Award winner, this poignant poetry collection celebrates and reclaims Indigenous voices, language and culture. Maria van Neerven writes with deep love for her Yugambeh language, reflecting on the enduring impact of colonisation, racism and intergenerational trauma while honouring the extraordinary Indigenous women who nurtured her. Through her work, she restores the stories of her ancestors, giving voice to those silenced in the past, and gathers what was taken to rebuild a life rooted in compassion, family, resilience and Blak pride.
