About Me

Hello, internet. I'm Amy A. DeCew, book author and side gig queen.

I've become my own variety show, with a background that includes everything from academia to minimum-wage retail, with design, manufacturing, and even some performance thrown into the mix.

I'll be here throwing it all into a blender in my creative work. We'll visit some wide-ranging locations, revisit American policies, and seek sanity in the humor and pathos of the context we find ourselves in.

My Latest Project

My most recent book, Waking Roe, is a collection of essays and poetry about the variety of responses that poured forth from my soul about the loss of reproductive rights for women across the United States. Heartbreak. Grief. Outrage. The sense of both insanity and absurdity in feeling like we'd all been set back centuries.

When words failed me, I experimented with digital collage. Using simple online tools and libraries of images, I layered multiple graphics and pictures together. Here's a look at some of my experiments.

And if you are one of the many voters who have petitioned, marched, and defended measure after measure on the ballot box to protect choice and healthcare access, thank you!
