Catlyn Ladd lives in a world of metaphors. Colorado is a land of extremes where god can be found on the streets of Boulder, riding a bicycle and wearing a Metallica T-shirt. Catlyn is most interested in the range of human experience that lies outside the norm, considered inappropriate in polite society. Her stories focus on the darkest realms of human experience because she realizes that our nightmares and mutations say much about who we are. Catlyn is studying in the faculties of Philosophy, Religion and Women’s Studies at a two-year college and is also a student in Religious Studies at Denver University. She views religion as metaphor too, and so emotion and religious experience are often entertwined in her writing. She tries to always be faithful to her poetic roots and often writes with the phonetic quality of the words in mind, letting rhythm, rhyme and resonance make the stories as effective when read aloud as they are on paper.
