Get Well Soon

121 pages, published September 2026 by Silver Nettle Press.

The poems you’ll find here hauled themselves up from some dark chasm to form Get Well Soon. What began as desperate attempts to purge old ghosts transformed into clarity of mind and body, expelling semi-lucid wraiths that should have been long buried. The poems found in Get Well Soon are the thoughts you have when night burns toward dawn, their syllables sending out tendrils of recognition we’d all like to pretend we don’t feel. Above all else, Get Well Soon is a reminder that we delay death through living—through breathing, and shrieking, and finding ourselves in our dreams.

Get Well Soon is Catherine’s second full-length poetry collection.

Both PDF & print versions will be available September 15, 2026.
