10 - Mulligan, Olivia

. .

Résumé :
Each day, at 10:37am, I wrote down what I heard. I did this project in secret, for 70 days. Why? I wanted to create a different kind of experiment to document my life's surroundings. I wanted to capture the weird, the wonderful and the extraordinary in the ordinary. Each day was the same time, the same world, but a different feeling. The snippets of the world at 10:37am are the titles of each poem. Also by Olivia Mulligan: Poems on the Gate Post Advice from a Stranger...

Biographie:
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...
