Amber V Whitham’s writing is often concerned with the relationships and parallels between animal, plant, and human bodies, intertwined with Dadaist concepts of consciousness, illness, trauma and the corporeal condition. Her work consists of hybrid writing which ranges from narrative prose to traditional verse, often blending the two to emulate a stream of consciousness that is both physically and metaphorically represented on the page; symbolising the erosion that trauma has upon both the body and mind and how mental and physical illness might affect the natural world.

She completed both her BA in English Literature and her MA in English Literature and Creative Writing at the University of Sheffield, where her research focused on modern and contemporary women’s poetry and its treatment of illness. Having had her work featured in Route 57, The Sheffield Review and Twisted Ink, Amber is currently working full-time as a copywriter, whilst writing in her spare time and working on her newest collection.
