"Love is a needle and thread, and I am the tapestry."

Fall in love, break, and heal all over again in this stunning new poetry collection from Catarine Hancock, one of today’s most beloved voices in modern poetry. In this deeply emotional journey, Hancock captures the shifting tides of love—from the thrill of new beginnings and the ache of heartbreak to the quiet strength that comes from finding yourself again.

Written with both vulnerability and wisdom, each poem explores love in all its forms: the euphoria of romance, the lessons learned from unhealthy relationships, and the gentle path toward a healthier, more hopeful love. Through raw, relatable verses, Hancock shines a light on what it means to truly heal and to grow, offering solace and encouragement to anyone who has ever felt lost in love.

Whether you’re navigating heartbreak, rediscovering joy, or simply longing for words that understand your heart, this collection is here to remind you that love is a journey—and every step brings you closer to becoming whole. Hancock’s words are a comforting presence, and a reminder to yourself that love—real, healthy love—begins with you.

About the Author

Catarine Hancock, a 25-year-old poet, author, and opera singer from Lexington, Kentucky, now living in Chicago, began writing poetry at 13 and has since built a significant online platform alongside her five poetry collections and a fantasy romance novel. When she's not singing or writing, you can find her curled up with a fantasy novel, browsing local bookstores, or adding quirky Goodwill finds to her already too-cluttered apartment. Find her at @catarinehancock
