Amy the Poet

I received my MFA in creative writing from Hunter College where I garnered the Academy of American Poets Award. My poems have appeared in Atlanta Review, Rattapallax, Margie, Lyric, The Maine Review, Poetry South, Cider Press Review and Alyss, among other publications. My first collection, What All the Sleeping Is For, won the 2002 Defined Providence Press Poetry Book Award. I have taught poetry at Hunter College, the 92nd Street Y’s Makor, and Politics and Prose Bookstore.
