RTÉ Poetry Programme

I recently discussed my book The Architecture of Chance and themes & ideas connected to it with presenter Rick O'Shea for the RTÉ Poetry Programme - a half hour show dedicated to contemporary poetry broadcast weekly on Ireland's national radio channel - reading some pieces from it in the process. Of particular interest to Rick was 'Chances Are' as an ever-moving, mass-collaboration poem that anyone can contribute to, wittingly or not, and its appearance in the book as HTML code.

We have @c_makris on the show. Send a tweet with the word "chance" in it and then go here: https://t.co/Q3FOrUfNF0 pic.twitter.com/EJcSL904qk

The interview was broadcast on last Saturday's (12 December) edition, which can be played back via the programme's page on the RTÉ website (my section starts around the 9:30 mark). Also featured on the same show were Eleanor Hooker and Moya Cannon; there was also a report on the annual Poetry Aloud competition.

My thanks to Rick O'Shea, producer Claire Cunningham, and everyone working on the programme for their attention to the book.
