Hyde Park (Chicago) Poetry feature Below are video links from a March 28th 2015 (3/28/15, or 20150328) over half hour long poetry performance (with accompanying background guitar from John) in Hyde Park at Chicago’s historical Quaker House (through “Sisters on a Journey” at 5615 S Woodlawn Ave, Chicago, Illinois 60637), with “Journey” — of poems by Janet Kuypers that all related to her mother (from an earlier poem to a series of poems throughout her battle with Leukemia, to two brand-new poems)... All of the pieces from this one-time-only reading were also released in a “Journey” chapbook, which you can download as a PDF file for free any time. There are also two additional web page listings for the videos from this show — one is at Scars Video (at www.artvilla.com/scars), and the other is from the main listing at artvilla. Below are video links to the live performance of Journey at Hyde Park in Chicago. |
