A heartfelt poetry collection for moments when life feels overwhelming, lonely, painful and uncertain.

Catherine Farren is a writer, poet, screen-writer and published author of Retreat and Breath, her first collection of poetry. She has published her second collection, Retreat, Breathe and Rise Again, with Oakleaf Press Publishing, and is already working on a third!

Catherine’s writing comes straight from the heart and explores many of life’s challenges, including grief, healing, hope and resilience. At its core, her poetry is about helping people feel seen and reminding us that there is often far more that connects us in life than separates us.

Following a nursing career spanning almost thirty-six years, alongside her own personal experiences, Catherine brings a well of understanding and insight into her writing.
