CAROLINE WRIGHT
the poet behind the blog
When I finished my first collection of poetry (Chemistry, Not Science), I noticed the entire book was about my dating life—first, as a young girl with plenty of crushes, then as a married woman, and, later, a widow. After publishing the book, I came to realize this truth: we are all, in one form or another, always dating. If we're not dating anyone else, we're dating ourselves.
​
In my next writing endeavor I decided to pair poetry and relationships since some people do not relate to poetry alone. But relationships? Yeah, everyone can relate to that.

CHEMISTRY, NOT SCIENCE
the book behind the blog
A poetic story of love and loss with hopeful and intertwining themes of persistence, change, and renewal.
