Caro Henry

Caro Henry, a Caribbean American and the award-winning author of The Edges, is naturally connected to the rhythmic soul of the Caribbean. The soulful beats of the islands, the harmonious tunes of reggae music, and the colorful tapestry of the native patois of her birthland, Jamaica, and the Cayman Islands influenced her upbringing. Caro’s passion for poetry and storytelling flourished as she grew up in tight-knit Jamaican and Cayman Island communities that cherished them. As Caro adjusted from her Caribbean upbringing to life in America, she found solace in writing, using poetry and short stories to bridge the gap between her past and present.

Caro lives with her husband and dog in a Maryland suburb of Washington, DC. In addition to writing, she tends to her garden and creates a welcoming environment for all the critters (domesticated and wild) that call her yard home.
