Student Profiles: Amy Vance

photoI mainly write short fiction.  Language is not always a dependable medium and I like to experiment with its limitations.  Miscommunication is a common theme in my work.  My stories are often told in snapshots or fragments that do not necessarily follow a cohesive narrative.  I also use humor in my work to help me ask questions and tackle subjects that I normally would not have the patience or the courage to explore.
