Lifeline

About the Book

               Lifeline is an intriguing book of poetry describing the exquisiteness of a world with unbounded and unconfined limitations for success, a word used purposely to provoke pain is a word that can be used to evoke a world of profound possibilities. Although the “line” may at times become a desolate epoch, life is always present and needs to be revived.

“Her poems are mature in the style of writing, very descriptive and show deep knowledge of literary methods and language.”

“She combines a remarkable “sage-like” wisdom with the staccato acumen of contemporary hip-hop. From cinquain, to haiku, to sonnet to free verse, Ivy’s poetry is as rich as it is intricate.”
