Her latest collection, Spore or Seed published by Fremantle Press in 2023, is a collection that charts Caitlin’s experiences on becoming and being a mother, and so much more besides.

A previous recipient of the John Marsden Poetry Prize, in 2014 she was shortlisted for the Judith Wright Poetry Prize and won the Harri Jones Memorial Prize of the Newcastle Poetry Prize.
Caitlin grew up in and around Fremantle. Since then she has lived around Australia, the US and the UK. She now teaches creative writing at Curtin University in Perth and keeps very busy as a much in demand poet.
