about me

Greetings and salutations,

I write because I do not know how not to. Words spill out, uninvited, demanding space. This blog is where I give them a home.

My name is Catherine, but you can call me Cathy. I am a poet, a storyteller, a collector of fleeting moments. I live between languages, between thoughts, between the weight of reality and the pull of dreams. My poetry is not soft. It is raw, tangled with longing, stitched together with stars and silence. It is about love and absence, about the things we hold on to and the ones that slip through our fingers.

I do not write for the sake of writing. I write because something in me needs to be set free.

If you are here, maybe something in you does too.

Where to Find Me

This blog is where most of my words live. But if you want more:

SoundCloud – Spoken poetry and collaborations.

Threads – Daily poetry and scattered thoughts.

Bandcamp / Discogs – For those curious about the music that shapes me.


My Instagram is private. I post there, but not often.

Some of my words have found their way into books. If you want to hold them in your hands, you can find them here.

Collaborations & Contact

I have worked with musicians and photographers, blending words with sound and image. If you think my writing could be part of something you are creating, feel free to reach out: cathy@boom.lu.

Thank you for your time, your ears and eyes. Don’t be shy to leave a comment or get in touch. Usually, I reply quite fast.

Disclaimer

The words you find here are mine. If some are not, I will say so. My stories are fiction, even when they feel real. My poetry is truth, even when it is not mine alone. Any resemblance to people or places is a coincidence. No post is aimed at anyone unless I say it is. Music is not mine. Do not copy my words without permission.
