A mountain girl at heart, Amy spent most of her adult life in pursuit of clear rivers, high summits, and the world’s most useless academic degrees. Raised in the great western towns of Albuquerque and Denver, Amy studied English and Film (or was that climbing and skiing?) at Colorado College in Colorado Springs. After a few postgraduate years spent globetrotting, training cow ponies, and teaching high school English, a masters degree seemed the next logical step in delaying the inevitability of “real life.�
While Amy intends to complete her M.F.A. in Poetry in the spring of 2006, she hopes to remain in Utah long enough to do enjoy a few more seasons of the greatest snow on earth, actually visit the Great Salt Lake, and solve the mystery of the ubiquitous beehive emblem.
Along with writing poetry and exploring the great outdoors, Amy owns Mountain Mutts, a doggie adventure business that caters to the needs of Salt Lake’s high-energy dogs and their people.
