Writing with a tender love for her Yugambeh language, Maria van Neerven reflects on the legacy of colonisation and racism, and the aftermath of intergenerational harm. At the same time, she shines a light on the importance of family and culture, celebrating the Indigenous women who guided and taught her - extraordinary women filled with resilience and strength. In this way, van Neerven reclaims the stories of her ancestors, giving a voice to those who weren't allowed one in the past. Two Tongues regathers what has been stolen in order to reassemble a life of compassion and - above all - love for family and Blak pride.\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN13: 9780702271038\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNumber of Pages: 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEdition: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication Date: 03 Feb 2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublisher: University of Queensland Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication City, Country: St Lucia, Australia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions (cm): 29.5(H)x12.9(L)x1(W)104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight (gm): 104\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h4\u003eMaria van Neerven is a Mununjali poet from the Yugambeh nation living in Meanjin.
