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.
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.
