Café Mestizo poetry & song mini-feature
September 3rd 2011 (9/3/11)
Janet Kuypers was asked to do a mini-feature at Café Mestizo in Pilsen IL, hosted by Vittorio (Vito) Carli, on Saturday, September 3rd 2011, along with other poets for an afternoon-long festival. Kuypers read poems from her book Contents Under Pressure (which is now in it’s 2nd printing) for later release as part of audio CD releases of her book, and had all of the poems flow into one another (instead of stopping for applause between each short poem), so she made a point to have the themes of the poem flow into one another (as if they were all together to tell a story). After reading her Contents Under Pressure poems, she finished her performance with guitar from John Yotko, as they sang (and performed the only poem she ever wrote intended to be sing) her new poem “Made Any Differnece” (which she will release in a CD single at the end of this year, of all of the live performances and different versions of this poem/song).
