Janet Kuypers reads her poetry in the “January 2018 Book Release Reading” live at Half Price Books 1/3/18 in Austin

January 1st marked a January 2018 Book Release Reading of new books from Scars Publications, which saw the release of the books “the End of the World” from cc&d magazine; and “Farewell to Seafaring” from Down in the Dirt magazine. In his reading, Janet Kuypers read performance art poetry material from the show “Meant to do Big Things” that appeared in cc&d magazine’s book, and haiku as well as poetry from “Farewell to Seafaring”.     Because it was an end-of-the-year reading at this feature poetry reading event, Janet Kuypers also read material from the 2018 Scars Publications collection books that were recently released, and was able to share haiku and poetry. In separate readings, she read her poetry from the Down in the Dirt September-December 2017 issue collection book “the Light in the Sky”; Janet Kuypers also read from the cc&d September-December 2017 issue collection book “Language of Untamed Spirit” — during this fourth reading she was also able to end the readings with 3 haiku from the poetry and prose collection anthology “On a Rainy Day”.     There is also a YouTube playlist of the videos of this show, and 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 and writing links to the live performance of poetry readings from January 3rd 2018 (1/3/18, or 20180103) at Half Price Books in Austin for the Community Poetry @ Half Price Books event.
