A debut poetry collection, You Must Not Forget is a heartfelt and raw depiction of the odyssey of becoming a mother.

Dimpled thighs, toy-strewn kitchens, quilting, and the anxious dance of forging new friendships-Catharine's work invites us to embrace our lives unabashedly and reflect on them deeply. Approachable and honest, her writing celebrates all aspects of womanhood from the profound experience of giving birth to the everyday frustration of a chip bag left-open. Each poem unveils meaning, joy, and solidarity amidst the tumultuous and beautiful journey of womanhood, motherhood, and life.
