Introduction

Catherine writes for a greener future. Her poetry for all ages rejoices that humans are part of nature, and she lays lines of poems as pathways for readers to reconnect with nature. As a bisexual writer, her poems often invite queer readings and celebrate queer love; she is lovingly crafting a sapphic fantasy novel for adults. Her academic work investigates how literature can heighten environmental awareness, evaluating how fantasy novels and children’s books present animals, plants, and humans as natural.

Catherine lives in North Cornwall with her partner, learning the wildflowers and constellations month by month, writing to the rhythm of the sea.
