Catarine Hancock is a writer from Lexington, Kentucky. From a very young age, Catarine has been a bookworm with a desire to tell her own stories. She has been reading and writing for as long as she can remember. Her love of poetry, however, was not discovered until she was 13. In the summer of 2013, she began to share her writing on Instagram. Her presence on that platform has transformed and grown over the course of 6 years, from a small account with only a few thousand followers, to the popular poetry page which had an audience of over a hundred thousand, to her current page, @catarinehancock, which she created in December of 2018.
Catarine writes predominantly love poetry, but she also writes about music, friendship, and self-love, as well feminism and other controversial political topics. Her poetry stems from her own experiences; her past and current relationships, her struggles with self-esteem, and her activism. She has published three poetry collections: the boys i’ve loved and the end of the world (2017), how the words come (2018) and shades of lovers (2019).
