Ingrid Andersson

Ingrid Andersson has practiced as a home-birth nurse midwife for more than 20 years. She studied poetry and literature in Swedish, German, French and English, as well as anthropology, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, before mixing that fertile ground with the art and science of midwifery. Ingrid’s poetry has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net and has appeared in Ars Medica, Eastern Iowa Review (Editor's Choice Award), Midwest Review, Minerva Rising, Mom Egg Review, Plant-Human Quarterly and elsewhere. She works as a writer, midwife and an activist in Madison, Wisconsin, where she lives with her husband, son, dogs, chickens and bees.
