In the first months of 2020, the world came to terms with a virus that threatened life and society. Extraordinary measures were taken, the like of which we had not seen before. Airlines ground to a halt as international travel was stopped. Most countries were forced to institute draconian steps that had all but essential workers confined to home in what became known as 'lockdown'. For those who already carried the burden of health issues, extra care had to be taken to avoid coming into contact with anyone who might carry the virus.

Those that could, worked from home. Many of those who could not work, were furloughed. The internet, and particularly video conferencing, took on a new dimension. Children were home-schooled. 'Zoom' entered our daily lexicon. Among the myriad ways that people demonstrated their creativity, some turned to crafts, gardening, painting, sculpting, dance, singing... Some took up writing and one posted poems on the gate post.

Mulligan, Olivia: - "Olivia Mulligan, or Liv as she is known, was born and bred in North Yorkshire. After spending several years in London, completing a degree in Drama and Creative Writing, and a short spell working in the city, she could no longer resist the call of the Yorkshire Dales and so returned to her roots. Liv is a keen cross country runner, a coffee barista, and now - poet. Her spoken word poem, 'The Lockdown Chat' was aired at the 2020 BBC Upload Festival in the Writers' Tent. "I have many childhood memories of making up and performing silly rhymes, songs and stories, even before I started school. These days I find I am inspired with poetry ideas when I am out running. I can't jot down the verses until I get home so to help me remember the lines I keep repeating the words out loud as I huff and puff up and down the Yorkshire hills, sounding truly insane. "I love how poetry encourages rebellion, experimentation, freedom and so much more." To keep up to date with her poetry antics, follow Liv on Instagram & Twitter: Liv_Mulligan"
