My newest poetry collection is finally here!

As awesome as I thought he was, I never had any intention of writing a chapbook about my father. However, after his death the poems just came pouring out of me. This small collection is filled with poems and family photos. It was truly a labor of love that helped me navigate the grieving process.

This is a Limited Edition, with only a few hundred copies available. Be sure to get your copy before they sell out. Once they are gone, that’s it!

“ . . . an endearingly honest account of her struggle with grief and mourning. Through this handful of taut poems, Amanda explores the sorrow and confusion of the loss of her father. Moving, insightful, and often inspiring, these poems will resonate with anyone who has suffered the loss of a parent, especially those who have lost them by degrees as they succumbed to the ravages of dementia. In spite of the acute sadness she experiences while navigating an undeniably dark time, Amanda manages to find and articulate the hope, love, and humanity in her journey.”  Darin Dahms - actor, award-winning director, and playwright.  

SOUR: A Book of Bitter Little Love Poems

My first poetry collection, SOUR, was released on February 14, 2016. It received excellent reviews and ranked as high as #11 on Amazon’s Bestseller List for Poetry Books by Women. This collection is made of up poems written over several years, and focuses on those horrible thoughts, feelings, and circumstances surrounding the painful end of romantic relationships.

BITTER: A Selection of Sour Love Poems

My second poetry collection, BITTER, a sequel of sorts, or rather a continuation of SOUR, was released on September 8, 2016. Like, SOUR, it focuses on break-ups, and not only on our feelings and thoughts at the end, but those flashbacks that we have to instances that were red flags, and even those good memories that now just cause us pain.

My third poetry collection, TAINTED LOVE, was released July 4, 2017. It was a departure from the first two collections in that it contains poems about all phases of a romantic relationship, the good and the bad - not just the ugly end.
