Caroline Lee (9) (1977–)

Caroline Lee was born in November 1977 in Bristol. She grew up in Somerset, and was dealt a devastating blow when at the age of 12 she was diagnosed with Insulin Dependent Diabetes. After her diagnosis she started at Sidcot School, where she had a blissfully happy time and was first introduced to poetry. She later went on to read Theology and English Literature at LSU, Southampton. Following a stay in The Priory in 2005 Caroline started writing poetry: her poems were a way of releasing pain and pressures, from the depression she was experiencing and had experienced and from the highs and lows of everyday life. Caroline lives and works in London.
