Synopsis

Although still in her second year at University when this book was written Megan caught attention with her infectious reeling wordplay. Megan is not afraid of speaking her mind and grappling with political themes with a confidence missing in many older poets. When I Grow Up To Be Mary Beard captures the sound of a resurgent feminism that demands to be heard and marks Megan Beech out as a name to watch.
