Cara Hartley

I'm the poetry side of Team Netherworld/Naughty Netherworld Press. Cara Hartley is my real name. I also write about mental health and recovery topics as Cara H, in keeping with AA/NA idea that we are all equal regardless of status and renown. I've been writing poetry since early childhood. When I was six years old, my poem and picture won a competition and were displayed at the 1971 New Mexico State Fair. My poetry has gotten darker, swearier, and angrier since the days of the old lady who sat in her chair, who never got up and never did care. In fact, I have become the cantankerous old lady who sat in her chair. I will never apologize for being a feminist and not the fun kind. A society that fears female equality is a failed society.
