Martha Amore

Martha Amore presents her new collection In the Quiet Season and Other Stories (University of Alaska Press). This book explores the human landscape of Alaska. While the stories take place in modern-day towns, the characters in this collection struggle with ageless issues: broken trust and heartbreak, hope and rebirth. Although the people in Amore’s stories know how to survive Alaska’s cold terrain, these characters stumble when trying to navigate through their own lives and dreams. Joining Martha Amore is local artist Indra Arriaga, who created the beautiful cover art for In the Quiet Season.  She is a co-founder of Green Bee Studios and has co-founded the Day of the Dead art exhibit and celebration that is held annually in Anchorage.   A selection of her paintings will be on display during the event. Martha Amore is author of Weathered Edge: Three Alaskan Novellas (V P &amp; D House) and coeditor of Building Fires in the Snow: A Collection of Alaska LGBTQ Short Fiction and Poetry (University of Alaska Press). She received a master’s of fine arts in fiction from University of Alaska Anchorage and a BA in social science from University of Michigan. She teaches writing at University of Alaska Anchorage and is currently working on an interdisciplinary PhD in English and psychology through University of Alaska Fairbanks.
