A new voice comes to internet radio when 10K Poets debuts "Late Nights With Cisco" on Blog Talk Radio, Saturday night, November 14, at 9 p.m. West Coast Time (Midnight Eastern Time).
"Cisco" is award-winning poet and journalist, novelist and playwright Chris Dickerson, who will host the 90-minute literary radio talk show every other Saturday night from Los Angeles, California.
"I was delighted to be offered this program by Glen Still at 10K Poets," said Dickerson, a former radio newscaster and veteran newspaper reporter. "It's a chance to cut through the fog of commercial publishing and make some serious writers, poets and novelists, known to a larger audience. And of course, with the technology of internet radio, that mass audience is now worldwide."
According to Glen Still, founder of 10K Poets and producer of "Late Nights With Cisco," acquiring Dickerson was a coup for 10K Poets.
"I listened to one of our other shows, 'Poets Dream In Color,' where Cisco was the guest, then we invited him on another of our programs, 'The English Pub,' and he was great on both," Still said. "I thought, this guy is a host who just needs a show of his own. So I called him up and made the offer. I couldn't be happier to have him on the 10K Poets roster."
Dickerson is a well-known playwright (his latest work, a one-man show focusing on Lincoln assassin John Wilkes Booth, played New York's Times Square Arts Center in spring 2009), poet and novelist (his books "Crossing The Frontier - Poetry & Prose" and the novel, "I Only Wanna Be With You" are published by Mariposa Ink). Originally from Baltimore, Dickerson resides in Los Angeles.
The format for "Late Nights With Cisco," according to Still, is "a topic each time - our first program focuses on the novels of Charles Bukowski - with guest writers, and others will be able to phone in and join the discussion, and we'll set time aside during the program to have writers call in and share their own work."
Still added, "We're very enthusiastic about this new program. I think it's going to take us all in a more serious direction and open the horizons for serious books and poetry that we haven't seen in a long time."
