Ivory is a poet and visual artist. Her fifth Bloodaxe Books collection is The Anatomical Venus ( 2019), which centres on women and otherness. She has co-edited with George SzirtesIn Their Own Words: Contemporary Poets on their Poetry Salt 2012. She edits the webzine Ink Sweat and Tears and teaches online for UEA/ National Centre for Writing online creative writing. In 2020 she became a Versopolis poet and has work translated into Ukrainian, Polish, Spanish, Croatian and Greek.
Fool’s World, a collaborative Tarot with the artist Tom de Freston (Gatehouse Press), won the 2016 Saboteur Best Collaborative Work award. A collection of collage/mixed-media poems entitled Hear What the Moon Told Me was published in 2016 by Knives Forks and Spoons Press.
In early 2019, SurVison published a chapbook of predominantly surrealist poems titled Maps of the Abandoned City. Reviewing it in London Grip magazine, Rosie Jackson noted the rare skill Ivory has to make her surrealism float into a world where politics – particularly sexual politics – are still pertinent.[1]
The Anatomical Venus won the East Anglian Writers 'By the Cover' Award at the East Anglian Book Awards. Reviewing for Storgy, Rachael Smart writes: "This collection is a stunningly curated linguistic exhibition on the historical abuse of women. Enticing and yet flinching, this disquieting house of dolls makes abuse seen and urges us to revaluate [sic] why women are where they are now, and it does so with an eerie and unforgettable beauty."[2]
In 2019, Ivory was named as one of the EDP's 100 Most Inspiring Women. In 2023 MadHat Press published her Wunderkammer: New and Selected Poems in the US.
In 1984 she rode Danny Kearney in the Irish Grand National at Naas.
