“Muses Walk” the book (versus the poem) is extraordinary. It represents – it is – Makris’ best work to date. As part of the “Al-Mutanabbi Street Starts in Dublin” initiative, Makris took “Muses Walk” the poem (which is an attempt to snapshot, so to speak, a particular street in Nicosia) and dissected it to create this little art book. He took each line of the original poem and used it for the title of a poem based on that line until he had done so with every line of “Muses Walk”. The result is more than a snapshot of a street. Now it is a full album representing the people of that street, their lives, and their cultures. This little book is a true treasure. With it, one begins to see that Makris is an important poet, not just for sleepy Ireland, but perhaps for the world.
