Our next guest co-host on "Stand As 1", this Sunday, 4/13/14: Demetrios Trifiatis...and a surprise. - Poet Tacito's Blog

Welcome, my fellow writers!

This Sunday, April 13th @ 8am PST, we hit the International super-highway AGAIN to visit our fellow PS poet, Demetrios Trifiatis, on Blog Talk Radio!

You know him. You love him. You adore the wisdom & philosophical gravity of his words & presence. It is time to hear the man himself!

I am truly honored & beyond excited to have Demetrios on my show! Please make sure to tune in and join us, as I can promise you I will mess up his name at LEAST 4 times in the 1st 15 minutes. (Lookup: Comedy gold)

Also, you may have noticed mention of "a surprise" in the blog title. Yes, there will be a BONUS guest poet that will join in around the start of Hour 2 for a brief period of time!

1. No, I won't tell you who.
2. No, you can't pay me enough to reveal it.
3. Yes, I may reconsider remark #2.

So, please join us as you'll have a chance to ask our guest & I some questions AND read your own work LIVE on the air! Be excited!!! SERIOUSLY!  

This is YOUR time to come together & shine, fellow poets. "Stand As 1" is an Open Mic internet radio show with the sole focus of providing all poets across the world a voice to be heard. So, DON'T BE SHY!
