Meabh Ann McCrossan is an eighteen-year-old poet from Galway. She writes in a way which has been described in the past as "self-deprecating". Once, she wrote a poem about her distaste for Mathematics for her Mathematics teacher, who subsequently asked her to sing at his wedding. Therefore, she is a walking example of where poetry can get a person. Currently studying for her leaving certificate exams, Meabh Ann is maintaining the poetic lifestyle within the walls of the school building by all means possible wearing literal flowers in her hair and listening to The Smiths at least once a day. Meabh Ann writes poetry and short fiction and complaint letters to chocolate companies.
