Originally from Oak Park, IL (home to both Frank Lloyd Wright and Ernest Hemingway) Amy Wray Irish grew up immersed in Chicago’s diverse arts scene.

She earned her BA in English from the University of Iowa and her MFA in Creative Writing from Notre Dame University.  After moving to Colorado, she joined Lighthouse Writers and (more recently) Columbine Poets.

Amy has been published both online and in print journals. Check her blog for updates on where to find her work or see her perform.  Her most recent book, Breathing Fire, is now available to purchase on Amazon.  Her forthcoming book, Down to the Bone, will be released in 2023.
