Salt Bones

97 pages, published February 2025 by Silver Nettle Press.

Salt Bones is a life crystallized. Divided into four distinct sections, each poem is a sliver of a broader puzzle in which the question of how our personal experience affects our interactions with the world—be it natural or built, with others or ourselves, in dreams or reality—is explored. Though Salt Bones’ poems are diverse in subject and geography, a common thread runs through: a yearning for wholeness; the unification of past and present.

Salt Bones is Catherine’s first full-length poetry collection.
