Catherine A Mellen
BIOGRAPHY

Catherine Mellen is an American poet, author and blogger.  Born in 1969 Lowell Massachusetts.  She wrote her first poem at age fourteen and quickly adapted her love for words.  Shamed by the childhood she lived, she became a cook and caterer for nearly three decades.  An auto accident at age forty-five, left her disabled and a victim to horrifying repressed memories.  In 2018 she started a blog where she shattered her silence on childhood trauma, family secrets and the monstrous predator her birth mother harbored.

Her poetry has been published in numerous poetry journals and she is the author of...

Christmas in Poetry Land: A delightful collection of holiday poetry.

Survivor's Mind: A window into the world of childhood trauma, family secrets and inside the mind of a survivor, poetically written.

A Childhood Tragedy Under A Mother's Watch/Part One 1975-1982 Lowell Massachusett and
A Life Given To Me/Part Two 1982-2019 Lowell Massachusetts. The horrifying true story of one girl's desperation to escape horrific inhumane abuse and her forty-four year journey from victim, to statistic, to survivor.

Understanding Childhood Trauma. An informative book to help society, laws, medical professionals and families better address children who are abused to live their lives as survivors and not the statistics we are raised to be.

Only Beautiful Remains: Words of a Poet. Poetry grew in her soul... With every breath, her words sliced beauty where only ugly once roamed.

      • I wrote my first poem at age fourteen called Flying Free. It's about a bird flying away from all its pain, hurt and finally being free to live its own life. (I am the bird) Being a poet and writer is definitely in my blood. But shamed by the childhood I lived, I became a cook & cater for nearly three decades. I continued to write poetry and in journals until repressed memories at age forty-five sent me to my hometown police department. It was then that I put nearly thirty years of writing into multiple manuscripts ready to be published.

      • For a brief moment, I did. In 1990, I won a poetry contest selected by Ed McMahon. It was then that I realized how ashamed I was of people knowing about my past. I passed on the award and took my first job as a cook.
