Amy Bowers is a Florida native currently living in Connecticut with her family. Her writing explores art, domestic culture, the insect and natural worlds, and manufactured places and spaces.

She is currently finishing a novel about a woman who enters vernacular photos she finds in Goodwill. She is also working on an essay collection about growing up in central Florida among amusement parks, alligators, and hurricanes.

She holds an MFA in CNF from Bennington and has work published or forthcoming in [PANK], Washington Square Review, West Trade Review, OxMag, Farm-ish, Assay, and LA Review of Books. Her essay Manual is published (fall 2021) in A Harp in the Stars: An Anthology of Lyric Essays, edited by Randon Billings Noble and published by the University of Nebraska Press.

Her day jobs include: teaching creative writing at the local state university, writing film guides for Journeys in Film, international private tutoring, and community teaching.

Current obsessions are parking lot birds and the people who feed them, the glacial erratics that dot her neighborhood, and dragon noodles.
