Reviews
'Caitlin's words are as powerful on the page as they are on the stage.' Harry Baker 'Caitlin's articulation of feminism and womanhood in your 20s is powerful, beautiful and absolutely on point. Her poetry shines a light on the painful truth of misogyny faced by women everywhere, but also the immense strength of sisterhood. Her fresh take on age-old issues is tender and utterly engaging.' Gemma Sherrington, CEO of Refuge 'Caitlin takes the heart of your inner 20-something, and handles it with such kindness and guiding generosity. Part advisory, part adversary, her voice is concerned for you and always comforting. ' Jack Garratt 'Caitlin's poetry sums up the paradox of being a young woman in the 21st century. At a time when we need people to speak out for women's rights more than ever, Caitlin understands the assignment.'Amnesty International UK 'A devastatingly heartfelt, intelligent, witty and turbulent ode to female friendship, fears, hopes and dreams. The book I wish I'd had in my twenties but so glad to have now in my forties, where I still swim in the uncertainties of this beautiful and confounding life. ' Caitríona Balfe 'Perfect poetry for when the world seems a little daunting. A gorgeous debut collection.' Hollie McNish
