A Writer
With a background in music journalism and business speak, Amy currently focuses her creative energy writing free verse poetry and haiku. The southern-born, northern-bred Michigander-turned-Tennessean-turned-Michigander likes circular things -- CDs, vinyl records, typewriter keys, conversations and tostadas.
