Two of Christodoulos' recent publications this is no longer entertainment (2019) and It Reeks of Radio (2023) were composed using contemporary and historical archives respectively. In this process and concept based seminar discussion, attendees are invited to consider how working with primary materials in an archive can spark poetic adventures.

Christodoulos Makris is “one of Ireland’s leading contemporary explorers of experimental poetics” (The RTÉ Poetry Programme). He has published five books of poetry, as well as several limited edition pamphlets, artists’ books, digital projects and other poetry objects, with presses in Ireland, the UK and North America. Recent awards include Writer in Residence at Maynooth University (2018-19), a Literature Project Award from The Arts Council in 2020, and the inaugural Joseph M. Hassett Creativity Bursary for poetry from UCD in 2021.
