Crocodile explores domestic violence and coercive control through the eyes of victim, reptilian perpetrator and the justice system.
What does the judge make of the crocodile? He’s a great swimmer, after all. What about the jury?

Praise for Crocodile
Alan Parry, Editor of The Broken Spine
Crocodile is a compact, carefully sequenced work that moves with a controlled, cutting rhythm. Built from fragments that shift between lyric, grotesque vignette and procedural satire, the text examines coercive control through shifting perspectives. It begins in the body, moves into allegory, and ends in institutional rhetoric. The hybrid form holds that trajectory together.
