Host Barney Smith is delighted to welcome the acclaimed writer and poet Amy Allen, owner of All of The Write Words and Poet Laureate for Shelburne. In this episode, we delve into Amy’s latest poetry collection, 'Mountain Offerings,' an evocative exploration of human emotions through the lens of the natural world.

'Mountain Offerings' charts a poetic journey from youth to maturity, capturing pivotal life stages, including partnership, parenthood, and the quest for self-awareness. Set against the backdrop of Vermont's serene landscapes—from snow-capped mountains to tranquil lakes—Amy's poems weave the beauty and brutality of nature with the intricacies of personal experience.

Amy discusses her creative process, the influence of nature on her work, and the transition from an education career to founding her own writing and advising business. This collection is celebrated for its clarity, accessibility, and the profound connection it establishes with readers, making Amy's work a resonant voice in contemporary poetry.
