More information:
Handfeeding the Crocodile, a powerful and substantial collection by award-winning writer Gina Mercer, confirms her status as an eloquent and nationally significant poet. Structured around the tension between peace and danger in everyday life, it resonates with the personal response to contemporary global anxieties. Mercer explores, with her trademark sensuality, the themes of grief, joy, motherhood, female embodiment and intimate friendship. Handfeeding the Crocodile was shortlisted in the inaugural Alec Bolton Award, ArtsACT, a national competition for unpublished poetry manuscripts in 2005. It is proudly published by Pardalote Press with the assistance of a grant from ArtsTasmania.
