With flamboyant gestures and vocal gymnastics, writer, producer and DJ Charlie Dark has made a dynamic impact on the UK poetry and performance scene.

Cameron Lange is a poet from Los Angeles,California. The first poet that 10K Poets published as an individual. His work is raw & stunning. If you can help support poetry publishing by purchasing a copy, that would be great. If you can't b/c times are tough - it's understood - if you can pass the word on about Cameron Lange & his new book: "Chaotic Rhythm", that would help. Many Thanks!
