'Capital' at Irish Museum of Modern Art

On Saturday 5 September I will present a new long poem with title 'Capital' at the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA).
This is part of a programme of events for The People's Pavilion installation, a public outdoor space located on the museum's front lawn where people can meet safely in specially designed social distancing circles.
From the event description:
'Capital' is a polyphonic poem composed of fragments of text from unattributed reviews of establishments on Talbot Street, publicly available on Google Maps. It has its roots in Makris’s longstanding interest in the shifts in language use, communication and identity brought about by digital media, and their implication on poetic discourse.
The poem maps the street through the kind of public-private writing prevalent online (the reviews often stray into personal anecdote). Its documentary and fragmentary nature also responds to the early post-Covid conditions, our toggling between 'real' and online geogra…

'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 extremes whil…

'framed entertainment' (Arts Council of Ireland Covid-19 Crisis Response Award)

I am pleased to announce the release of a video with title 'framed entertainment'.

Enabled through receipt of an Arts Council of Ireland Covid-19 Crisis Response Award, 'framed entertainment' presents raw footage from a private reading of a hybrid text composed of sections from my third book this is no longer entertainment interspersed with fragments of theoretical framework taken from my introductory essay 'Poetry and Cultures of Feedback'.
Conforming to full Government of Ireland lockdown restrictions (Phase One) the reading was for an audience of one and it took place on a remote beach within 2km of my home; it was filmed by a member of my immediate family on their personal device, and the video was home-edited using widely-available amateur tools.
With thanks to the Arts Council of Ireland for the award.
The Arts Council of Ireland introduced this special award in April 2020 to support Ireland-based professional artists across all disciplines in creating and di…
