Welcome! Let’s explore life, love and meaning …
For more than three decades, I’ve been writing books, poetry and essays. Along the way, I’ve connected with many readers who, like me, are searching for meaning and beauty amidst the chaos.
These days, in addition to my writing, I also offer one-on-one coaching to help people bring more clarity and purpose into their everyday lives.
My writing, life philosophy and coaching share a common thread: an optimistic outlook grounded in embracing the present.
Whether you’ve stopped by to read, reflect or work with me directly, I’m so happy you’re here. I look forward to connecting with you.
For more information about my writing or 1:1 coaching, please contact me.

Thoughts & Reactions
'CBS Radio News Editor and Writer'
Amy Kite's poetry reminds me of me: of my worries, my cares, my base and building blocks, my self esteem, my internal dialogue, my healed self, my smoothed-over bruises. Her poems bring me to points on my path, while telling me more about hers. They feel real, raw, and at once of both now and yesterday.
'Fashion Writer'
A collection full of intense emotion delivered in short, punchy lines whose bite may at first seem softened through rhymes and Kite’s easy, conversational tone. But watch out, behind Kite’s verses is raw feeling, the sort that keeps many a woman up at night, trapped in thought, long after love and loss have come and gone.
