“Lucy Ives is smart in that heart-breaking way that can make a spare, suspicious, elegant work of anti-poetry out of the silent treatment between ideas and those who have them.” ―Anne Boyer

The Hermit is a catalog of thoughts concerning art and experience. Layering fragments of dreams, lists, games, conversations, poems and notebooks, Lucy Ives offers an intimate look into one writer's practice―“The worst is my imagination: lushly underscoring everything.”

Lucy Ives (born 1980) is the author five books of poetry and prose, including an essay and poetry collection, Orange Roses (Ahsahta, 2013), and A Novella, Nineties (Little A, 2015). Her first full-length novel, Impossible Views of the World, was published by Penguin Press in 2017. Editor of Triple Canopy, Ives lives in New York City and teaches at the Pratt Institute.
