Janet Kuypers’ Expressions 2016: Reasons to be Cheerful show “Love in the Universe”     Below are video links from a May 7th 2016 (5/7/16, or 20160507) poetry performance (with accompanying guitar music by John) of Janet Kuypers’ first scheduled Austin poetry feature through Expressions 2016: Reasons to be Cheerful at Austin’s the Bahá’í Center (at 2215 E M Franklin Ave, Austin, TX 78723) after her move, and because this was also her wedding anniversary, they started the evening with her and John singing the song friends performed at their wedding — Depeche Mode’s “The Bottom Line” (with altered chorus lyrics for their wedding). So enjoy this set os poems (set to music in the show) about not only astronomy but also love, in “Love in the Universe”.     All of the pieces from this reading were also released in a “Love in the Universe” 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 “Love in the Universe” at Expressions 2016: Reasons to be Cheerful in Austin.
