Ay Garden (surprisingly not a pseudonym, just a shortening) is a teenage Scottish poet, writer and all-round strange individual. Around the age of 9, she placed second in a local poetry competition - ever since she's been out to prove her poetic ability. Her greatest companions are her guitar, camera, headphones and a felt-tip pen. She hopes to change the world someday... Or at least alter it, slightly.
