iPoem's Blog: 1988 - 2021

i-Poem's Blog was the 'official blog of Cat Catalyst' for over a decade featuring unique and original content spanning 33 years of writing and reflection with many titles published in pamphlets, anthologies and poetry journals. Now the Best of: i-Poem's Blog (1988-2021) is published as a comprehensive collection in one book, presenting 75 of the most popular titles as an epistolary novel comprised of modern verse. Both entertaining and provocative, i-Poem's Blog (1988-2021) attempts to assist with the removal of the blocks to the awareness of Love's Presence, via a combination of interwoven real and fictional auto-ethnographic memories that serve as a methodology for thought optimisation, and as an infrastructure to challenge binary-thinking. Dedicated to Spiritual Troubadours, Chameleons, Starseeds and Light-Workers, i-Poem's Blog (1988-2021) lays the foundations for a new improved paradigm that is more balanced, wholistic and supportive. For as we collectively move forwards, we discover a heartfelt desire to be of service to others, leaving any old self-serving habits behind, safe in the knowledge that service-to-others is actually 'service-to-ones-own-self', for all beings are One on the path of Love. I am another you. You are another me. And We are all One with the Creator. The hard cover features a fold-out artwork book jacket. More info: catcatalyst.co.uk/ipoemsblogbook

Review :
"For those of us who have become jaded regarding the often static-state of modern poetry this is a joy to discover a voice with such fearless clarity. Part 21st century troubadour and part artistic chameleon, Cat Catalyst has created a hypnotic poetic vision that is quite literally a spiritual call to arms. Most of Cat Catalyst's work is connected directly to the state of humanity at this particular time in history, as well as how we do, or do not relate to one another. Cat Catalyst's poetry isn't merely a social critique, it is also a formula for self-understanding that is quite expansive socially. As a multimedia artist, poet and performance artist, Cat Catalyst's method of delivery is deliberate, and she pulls no punches with the message she is sending to her reader. A mistress of words and images, her work captivated and inspired me. Over time what I witnessed was the very open and on-going evolution of an artist as a work of art itself. This is a very brave act for any creative person; to candidly display the machinations of the creative process through each piece of art they share". - Val B. Russell, former Managing Editor of Tuck Magazine: (2011 - 2019).
