About Ingrid

Ingrid Goff-Maidoff lives a poetic and love-filled life with her husband and two daughters on the island of Martha’s Vineyard. Her writing reflects a woman of cultivated awareness and sensuous spirit. Through Sarah’s Circle Publishing, Ingrid has quietly produced beautiful hand-sewn books of poetry and inspiration that have been delighting the public for over a dozen years.  She is now represented by Julia Lord Literary Management.  In October 2007, Andrews McMeel published 3 of Ingrid’s books of quotations: Happiness, Friendship, and Love for national distribution.

Although she does give the occasional talk, poetry reading, and Universalist sermon, it is through her books, her web-site, the Artisan’s Shows of Martha’s Vineyard, her “Portions of Joy” e-newsletter, and now here that Ingrid reaches the world.

“There is about her the seemly grace of one for whom the spiritual dimension of living is an ever-present reality.” ~Jacqueline Sexton, Martha’s Vineyard Times

“It is as if all that she produces, the songs, the poetry, the cards, books and paintings are the result of an essential essence that emanates from her as personally and naturally as an exhale. And for whatever practical tethers hold her earthbound, Ingrid Goff-Maidoff seems to float.” C.K. Wolfson, Vineyard Gazette
