Amy's work focuses on cultural rhetorics of menstruation through fairytales, symbolic culture, and human origins along side political and public dialogues of the reproductive body and taboos. Amy's classrooms focus on collaborative, constructivist learning that addresses worldviews, expands perspective, and challenges notions of information literacy through AI collaborations, zines, and practices in process-based learning that make writing FUN and IMPORTANT.
Amy is the author and illustrator of Red Memory (Flowersong Press), What Bird are You? (finishing line press), mi sin manitos (ethel micro press), walking tours of New York (ghost city press), Blood to Purying the World (Spuyten Duyvil), and the forthcoming Red Tape (Querencia Press). Amy is a member of the Society for Menstrual Cycle Research and Radical Anthropology Group. Amy is just a person who loves periods, cats, and metaphors.
