Carol Casey lives in Blyth with her husband, hundreds of books, and a large garden. Her first major, and formative, literary event occurred when her grade 8 teacher read her poems out loud to the class. She has thought of herself as a poet ever since. Now retired from nursing, she writes poetry to make sense of herself, other people, the beautiful and perilous world around us and the cornucopia of connections in between. Her work has been twice nominated for the Pushcart Prize and has appeared in journals and anthologies around the world.
