my pen name is cassie and i am in my late 20s.
i am a poet, writer, graphic designer
and child play therapist in training.
i live in the united kingdom.
i tend to spend a lot of time wrapped in analysis and rumination. being stuck in my head can mean i sometimes miss the sensations my body signals. i find writing poetry is a way for me to meet back with my body and ask it how it's feeling. i am a somatic sensory first poet - recurrent themes of my poems tend to repeatedly encircle textures, tastes, pressures, residue, containers, weights and the tension between my thinking mind and sensing body. writing poetry translates my sensations, and in cathartic translation, i can no longer hide from myself. i have the permission to feel without interpreting first.
this is me โคด
