Ivy Braxton Harrington

Ivy Braxton Harrington grew up in Richmond, Virginia with a fondness for her family’s roots in Baltimore. Her poetry developed out of her childhood connection to nature and sunlight. She explores the nuance of their intermingling and tries parsing out the scenes of the natural world. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from Cornell University, completing a research thesis that combined the areas of her two majors, Linguistics and Literature. Recently, she has been finding richness in the works of Seamus Heaney and owes her love and appreciation of meter and rhyme to Dickinson, Housman, and Frost.
