IN THE PRESS

 

 

Ivy’s poems are sharp and unflinching…there’s a dangerous beauty in all the dangerous and dirty corners.

 

-Karen Weyant,

Rain Taxi Review of Books

 

…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.   

 

-Richard Hoffman, author of Emblem
