I am 36 years old, and born March 1969. I
have a 13-year-old son and have been with my boyfriend for 12 years. I enjoy
the outdoors, writing, cooking, decorating, and reading. I grew up in British
Columbia till I was 16, in a small town called Qualicum Beach. I have been writing
since my youth. I attended a convention winning medals for my poetry. I have since written poetry, articles and short stories for various online sites such as Webster’s
Dictionary and All poetry Magazine. I have won various Poetry and Editors Choice
Awards. Recently I have published a collection of my poetry. My wish is to continue enlightening people with my works. If

Book Review of
Dreams of Grandeur
Dreams of Grandeur is a brief anthology of poetry written by Canadian
author Amber A. Whitman. Most of the poems are short and to the point, not obtuse as some poetry tends to be. Writing poetry
is clearly one way the author confronts her own inner demons, as most of the poems in this book seem to deal with heavier
topics such as grief, loss, and broken or breaking relationships.
