Olivia MulliganOlivia 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 th 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 Read More Read Less
