Annamarie Amato is a poet, writer, and mother living in the Hudson Valley, New York. Her work is rooted in myth, memory, and abstraction, often moving through fragmentary forms where absence and silence carry meaning. Her poems have been described as “gem-like worlds, sparse yet complete,” resonating in the lineage of Sappho. She is currently developing a body of work that explores erasure, inheritance, and the intersections of poetry, photography, and painting.
Personal statement
I write in fragments because fragments are what remain. Myth and memory are my ways of returning to what is lost. Poetry, for me, is not about answers but about staying inside the spaces, the silences, the distances, the pauses, and listening for what emerges.
