I am interviewed by Meabh Ann McCrossan on HeadStuff



Last month Meabh Ann McCrossan interviewed me for the HeadStuff webmagazine. You can read the interview here.


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.”
