Amy Letter

I am a writer and artist whose stories, essays, and poems appear in journals and magazines. I also teach literature and writing to college students. Story is the force that gives our lives meaning. The details of the narrative define who we are, how we suffer, and what brings us joy.

The top-grossing films the year of my birth were Jaws, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show. All three are favorite films of mine, and all three augured much for the person I would become, though I’m sure it’s just a coincidence. I mean, I don’t believe that hit movies transmit mind beams into babies’ brains and program their personalities. Really. I don’t.

I've been trying to pull fiction into more dimensions, both physically and chronologically. It's meant working with "science fiction" themes, and also with a Dremel Stylus. It's a voyage of discovery; I follow the call, even if it leads me into hardware stores and time machines.
