About the author
Catarine Hancock
10 books213 followersCatarine Hancock is a 25-year-old poet, author and opera singer from Lexington, Kentucky, currently living in Chicago. She holds a bachelor of music in vocal performance from the University of Kentucky and a master of music in voice from Indiana University.
Aside from music, writing is her other great love. Having been a bookworm and writer all her life, her passion for poetry began at the age of 13, and shortly afterward, she began sharing her writing online. Over the past 11 years, her platform has grown to an audience of over 300,000. She is the author of five poetry collections: "shades of lovers" (2020), "sometimes i fall asleep thinking about you" (2021), and "i gave myself the world" (2023), all published with Central Avenue Publishing. Her self-published collections are "sprout: selected poems" (2022) and "holy ground" (2023). Her next poetry collection is slated to release with Central Avenue in 2025, and her debut fantasy romance novel, "Curse of Stolen Flame," will release in fall 2024.
When she is not singing or writing, Catarine can be found curled up with a good fantasy novel, wandering the aisles of the local bookstore, or adding a weird décor item she found at the Goodwill to her already too-cluttered apartment. You can find her on Instagram or TikTok at: @catarinehancock

Selected poems written by Catarine Hancock between 2013 and 2021
One of my favourite poetry collections until today. Hancock started writing poetry when she was only 13 years old, and I was stunned at her emotional intelligence at that age. While her early writing is already impressive, I love how this book grows and develops as you read through it, almost as if you're growing up and maturing alongside of her. For example, in her foreword, she mentions this growth and addresses how she stopped romanticizing an abusive relationship and started writing about the trauma instead. I also loved the relatability of many of the pieces.
