Olivia Mulligan is now 'Poet Laureate' for BBC Radio York. Here her live every Saturday afternoon at 1.15pm 

“Olivia Mulligan has done a great job of turning isolation into art; here are poems that speak to us all about how the everyday can be transformed by heightened language, and that a kind of transcendence can happen if we just stare hard enough at real life.”
Ian McMillan - Poet, Writer, TV and Radio Presenter

“Olivia captures life in lockdown beautifully. These verses are full to the brim with kindness, heart and just the right amount of absurdity.”
Harry Whittaker - BBC Radio York, Co-Author of The Guardian Angels Series

“Seldom has any poet or writer been capable of piercing gloom in such an entertaining, humorous and insightful way. This is a modern classic, a masterpiece for our time, and for times to come.”
Mark Thompson - Author of ‘DUST’

“Poems on the Gate Post is a tonic: the perfect companion to curl up with to both forget about and reflect about the world around you. An ingenious use of lockdown, Olivia’s style is infectious, with an easy joy and brimming with heart.”
Max May - Director and CEO, Rural Arts

“Poetry Gold.”
Joanita Musisi - BBC Radio York
