About
For small weddings, virtual events and workshops, Cathy is the one at the typewriter. For large events, she's gathered a band of big-hearted event poets to join her.
To encourage people to embrace their inner poet, she has developed poetry writing workshops. With no experience necessary, attendees learn how to clarify and organize their thoughts quickly and creatively through a series of short, fun exercises, ultimately resulting in each person creating a poem that has special meaning to them.She is the author of Unlightenment: A Guide to Higher Consciousness for Everyday People (Adams Media, Simon & Schuster ), and her work has been featured in multiple print publications, including The Toronto Star, The Oxford University Press and St. Martin’s Press. She’s been interviewed on CBC Radio’s Metro Morning and Here and Now. Her commissions include work for Unilever’s Dove, Papyrus-Recycled Greetings and Toronto Arts Foundation. She is an associate member of The League of Canadian Poets, is on the Program Advisory Committee for the Fine Arts Studio at Centennial College and is a receiving participant in The Writer’s Union of Canada Poetry Mentorship Program.
She is currently working on a chapbook of poetry entitled Shift.
