IN THE PRESS
Ivy’s poems are sharp and unflinching…there’s a dangerous beauty in all the dangerous and dirty corners.
“
-Karen Weyant,

“
…Ivy points to the universal human experience whenever she can, reminding us that the grittiness is not so far removed from anything or anyone else.
-Anne Champion, [PANK] Magazine
“
The poems of a survivor who sheds her delusions, poem by poem, as she investigates her life with honesty and courage and a poetic gift that comes damn close to redeeming it all—redeeming us all.
