Chris Dean writes from the heart of Indiana where they live with their husband, two dogs and too many cats to mention.Chris began writing poetry in 2018 as a way to make sense out of life's ups and downs. They began sharing their work in 2022 to foster connections between other "broken" people and as a way to contribute to the community they discovered through in-person events. Their work has been featured online at Fevers Of the Mind, Cajun Mutt Press, The Raven's Perch and Flying Island as well as multiple print anthologies. Their debut book of poetry, "Tales From a Broken Girl," was released in September of 2023 from Storeylines Press.
