my pen name is cassie.
i am a poet, writer, graphic designer
and child play therapist in training.
i live in the united kingdom.
i am a sensory first poet. spending a lot of time wrapped in analysis, rumination and thought, i tend to miss the sensations my body signals - i forget to feel. i find words are a way for me to meet back with my body, and i tend to write somatically before i write from my head. recurrent themes encircle textures, tastes, pressures, containers, weights and the tension between my thinking mind and sensing body. writing poetry translates my sensations, and it is only with post-reflection that gain further clarity. in cathartic translation, i can no longer hide from myself. i have the permission to feel.
this is me โคด
