| Summary |
Gives the lowdown on what it is to be an Indigenous woman today. Yvette Holt's startling and fresh poems treat us to an energetic and unconventional journey from love, sex, empowerment and travel, to motherhood and family, activism and grief. Her voice is loud and proud and she is not afraid to use it |
