Meet Amy Atkins - 18, a student in Expressive Arts at Massey University, creative writer, and poet. Poetry became a calling when Amy won her section in the 2010 New Zealand Association for Gifted Children Poetry competition. After four years of honing her craft Amy’s effort was rewarded in 2014 when her work was published in the Poems4Peace anthologies, and in the New Zealand Poetry Society’s Take Back Our Sky.
Amy is a contributor to KUPU 2015.
