She never felt safe at home as a young girl, and didn't understand why when she finally escaped she wasn't safe in the big wide world either ...effectively jumping out of the frying pan into the fire!
The tree of wisdom has been watered with tears, we’ve all been misled, fooled by illusions, because we weren’t taught better.
Background
Information
Cathrine Hottran was born in 1975 in Kristiansund N, Norway, and moved to Oslo at a young age. From early on, she discovered writing as a way to give shape to emotions — a private language where the unspoken could land before it was said aloud.
Her poetry is rooted in lived experience and the slow work of transformation, capturing both the ache of struggle and the quiet turning points that shape a life. With honesty and precision, she explores the inner landscape as a path to growth.
In her poems, light and shadow, pain and resilience, fear and tenderness all walk side by side — offering moments of reflection, release, and recognition of the weight of being human.
