Poet In Lockdown: Barnsley's Ian McMillan inspires poetry to record virus crisis

Barnsley Museums has appointed the town's TV and radio poet Ian McMillan as their Poet In Lockdown - to write sonnets and inspire others to create poems about how the Covid-19 crisis impacts on their lives, to record the moment in time for future generations, possibly to be published as a book, as part of the Barnsley Museum's Hear My Voice campaign.
Here chats to Graham Walker all about it in a live stream that was crossposted on The Star and The Yorkshire Post on Tuesday, April 21, 2020, at 2pm.
Get involved, upload poems by text and video to social media, using the hashtag #poetinlockdown - where you will also find more contributions.
