Biography
Amber May
By day, she’s a biology major and aspiring pre-med at University of Chicago, holding leadership positions on the Pre-Medical Students Association, Treasurer of the Classical Entertainment Society, Assistant Trainer at the gym, and Surgical Assistant. By night, she revels in the power and release of creating poems and poetic prose. As a child she composed fantasy stories, turning to free-flow, stream of conscious prose as she grew older. She has been published in various forms and has read her work at numerous poetry fests. For her, the writing process involves living deeply, contemplating experiences, and extracting the meaning. Instead of merely skimming the surface, she reaches towards the source, and through writing, heighten her senses, deepen her appreciation of aesthetics, and enhance her reception of the glory in existing as a sentient being.
The sacred moments of complete control, wielding pen in hand, electric synapses forming as the vessel connects to scroll, translating ineffable emotion into tangible transcription, saturating dictionary words with her own vibrancy. Writing spirals into a fascinating odyssey of self-exploration, uncovering her innate inner structure. As the pen hits paper, layers are penetrated. She hears the whispers of her soul.
Her mind becomes lucid to itself.
