Meet the Poet
Marsailidh Groat
Marsailidh Groat grew up in Edinburgh, Scotland, which she still calls home. She currently, however, spends most of her time in London, where she is a student (viola) at the Royal College of Music, with the goal of becoming a professional performer. She says she has always loved writing but favors poetic composition foremost, inspired by the works of Carol Ann Duffy and Sylvia Plath. While she keeps a blog for her poetry at Waverley Sunset, this is her first time publishing elsewhere. Besides studying and writing poetry, she says she spends much of her time getting lost in London, and consuming copious amounts of peanut butter. Read.
