My next "Stand As 1" Poetry Show on Sunday, 9/29/13 @ 8am PST w/guest: Vic Pister - Poet Tacito's Blog

Hey gang!

I hope you're all having an excellent week!

We continue the Poetry/Spoken Word online platform on Sunday, September 29th @ 8am PST (11am EST, 4pm London Time), with my special guest, Vic Pister from Vancouver, BC!!! It's going to be a USA/Canada day!

Vic was the winner of my latest "Know your Place" contest. I am proud to have this gentleman as my guest!

Because he's in Canada, I expect there to be waffles & french toast w/an unlimited supply of Canadian Maple Syrup. MMMMMMM! 

Mere dreams aside, I hope you'll all be able to join me for the fun! I invite you all to call in, read a poem, & talk to us so you all can be heard. Lets continue supporting the cause & our poets to have a voice beyond a screen on the internet. Spread the word & I'll catch you all on Sunday morning! Details are below!

To listen to the show you have a few options:

Web: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/standas1 (There is a chat room where you can talk with myself and others in the chat, but you'll have to register on the site to do so. Otherwise, you'll just appear as "Guest12345" in the chat room with no ability to communicate with others).

Phone: (646) 716-4762 (You can hear the show live over the phone. If you want to actually read a poem on the air, then please be sure to press "1" and the voice prompt will confirm that you're in my Host queue to read a poem.)

Please keep in mind that all callers that want to read on my show are selected in the order they call in and who presses "1" to be placed in my queue.

If there are any questions, please leave a comment here or shoot me a SoupMail. I do hope you all will be able to participate!

Cheers!

Congratulations to Vic...to Charma, Catie, Nikko...some of my favorite poets..yourself, of course....and Jim......omg......his last poem broke my heart, but also warmed my heart to hear his upbeat attitude. What a great example of class!! Thanks Drake for giving this opportunity to listen!

It's too bad you missed it! You need to call in and read something next time, Carrie! I feel like this is the 570th time I've told you this. lol

Jack Jordan Date: 9/30/2013 7:39:00 AM A fine show, Drake. My congratulations. While I've said before that I enjoy and appreciate the written versions of your poems, your reading of them is amazing: The slam-like speed, powerful voice, rising timbre, passionate if unpostable passages (too bad...). Great work! Keep it up... Jack Login to Reply Charmaine Chircop Date: 9/30/2013 8:50:00 AM Would be nice to hear you jack Poet Tacito Date: 9/30/2013 8:21:00 AM Thank you so much, Jack! "Passionate, if unpostable, passages"...that made me grin a little deviously. :) True story. I hope you can call into the show one day! You have some awesome Haikus.
