2020/21 Literature Project Award (Arts Council Ireland)

I am pleased to announce receipt of a 2020/21 Literature Project Award from The Arts Council of Ireland: Poets Kimberly Campanello and Christodoulos Makris have been awarded a Literature Project Award to collaboratively explore space-time dimensions of travel in the age of digital/anthropocene. Dublin-based digital publisher Fallow Media will disseminate the result through a discrete digital publication to be released in late 2021. Time is elastic in the age of the digital/anthropocene, and our perception of physical spaces, including how we navigate them and the resonances they have for us, have altered. This creates a vertiginous contrast between our increasing scientific awareness of geological 'deep time' and the eternal present of the digital 'update' and 'scroll'. The recent past of easy travel has become a distant past, possibly not to return. We will explore how the two dimensions of travel (space-time) work across each other by writing in dialogue wi

'this is no longer entertainment' reviewed on PANK Magazine

A review of this is no longer entertainment  appeared on PANK Magazine  last week, written by Hayden Bergman - poet, translator and Books Editor at  The Literary Review. Founded in 2006 by M.

He considers it being marked by collisions of ideological extremes, and comments: "Makris writes in a way that takes note of the pleasures and pitfalls of extrem

'this is no longer entertainment' reviewed in Poetry Ireland Review

Issue 130 of Poetry Ireland Review (April 2020) carries a review of  this is no longer entertainment . Written by David Toms, the review piece is titled 'Feeding The Engines' and in it my book is considered along with books by Matt Kirkham and Natasha Cuddington. Toms opens with a paragraph on Shoshana Zuboff's groundbreaking work  The Age of Surveillance Capitalism and in particular on her use of the term 'behaviour surplus', identified as 21st century capitalism's driving force and the internet's central product - which serves as an introduction to his discussion of my book. Writing about this is no longer entertainment  he argues that "the title itself is a stark warning, as strong as Zuboff's core argument" and calls the book "a sustained and at times terrifying glimpse of the world as it now exists". Later he writes: "We talk about the online and offline, although the line between one and the other - as Zuboff's work d
