AMANDA, A 13 YR OLD, WANTED TO GET INTO A GOOD COLLEGE WHERE HER POETRY WOULD BE APPRECIATED, AND JUST MAYBE SHE COULD RECEIVE AN ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIP. THAT EFFORT FAILED. THEN AN ACCIDENT TOOK HER LIFE. THESE POEMS ARE PUBLISHED IN HER MEMORY AND DEDICATED TO YOUNG POETS EVERYWHERE. AMANDA WAS SHY AND FELT COMFORTABLE WHEN EXPRESSING HER VIEW OF LIFE THROUGH POETRY. NOW YOU CAN EXPERIENCE AMANDA'S GIFT THROUGH THE SAME MEDIUM: POETRY, HER POETRY. REGARDLESS OF YOUR AGE I AM SURE YOU MIGHT FIND SOME OF YOURSELF IN HER WORK AND LOVE.
