Dick Bakken of Bisbee, Arizona, did a 20-reading new book tour of the West in 2003—El Paso to Seattle, Berkeley to Santa Fe—to promote Twin Towers (Carrington Press, 2003), his response to the 9/11 WTC attacks, then again in 2004 to promote Dick Bakken: Greatest Hits (Pudding House Publications, 2005), which features his 12 most influential poems 1967–2002. To catch this relentless pioneer voicing poems without MS, mic, or podium, which has defined Bakken’s delivery—coast to coast—since 1973, long before “performance poet,” “spoken word,” and “slam” were labels anywhere near in vogue, hear his audio stereo cassette, The Other Side: Dick Bakken Live / Selected Voicings 1978–84 (Brushfire Publications, 1986). And check out “Orson Wells Interviews Poet Dick Bakken, Copper Queen Hotel Saloon, Labor Day, 2005,” at 'The Forbbiden Story Boards'. Greatest Hits, The Other Side, or his not-for-the-uptight-of-heart Feet with the Jesus (Lynx House Press, 1989) are available each $10.00 postpaid and signed from the author at dickbakken@yahoo.com.
