Ivy is a writer. Excerpts of her work may appear -- do not be alarmed.
After six months in Scotland and a year in Ireland, she now lives in Cardiff, Wales [oh, the weather]. A MacDowell and Hawthornden Fellow, she received grants from the Australia Council for the Arts and Academi to write poems towards her second book and from Wales Arts International to participate in Australian poetry events.
Ivy contributes words to dumbfoundry. She edited We Don't Stop Here and A Slice of Cherry Pie, and co-edited qarrtsiluni's Insecta issue. Mortal is her first book of poems.

What's brown and sticky?
—A stick.
Yay! ★ It's my birthday today ★ —and Evelio of Blindheit gives me a stick!
You're stuck inside Fahrenheit 451, which book do you want to be?
Sylvia Plath's Collected Poems
Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character?
Yes. [God, this is embarrassing. I was twelve!] The character of Chris from Virginia Andrews' Flowers in the Attic.
The last book you bought is:
Kathryn Harrison's The Kiss
The last book you read:
David Sedaris' Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim
What are you currently reading?
The Irish poetry journal, THE SHOp. I just read a groovy/simple poem about a recalcitrant heart that's so foolish, its owner buys it a leash [among other things], so that it doesn't go astray.
Five books you would take to a deserted island:
Shakespeare
Arturo Perez-Reverte
Madeleine St John's The Essence of the Thing
Dorothy Porter's The Monkey's Mask
Rita Dove
Who are you going to pass this stick to (3 persons) and why?
1. litwindowpane
2. Therapist with a Dream Inside
3. Barbara Jane's New Blog
...because I want to know.
