Chapter 38 v1 the Light in the Sky
    April 28th marked the first time Janet Kuypers hosted the Poetry Aloud open mic 4/28/18 in Georgetown TX, which was the only meeting like this at the Georgetown Public Library (5555 N Lamar Blvd, Austin, TX) during National Poetry Month in 2018. As host she welcomed poets and musicians up in this round-robin event, and toward the end of each round-robin reading Janet would come to the front to read poetry (that sometimes related to the theme for this meeting, either “ I am not a Robot” or “Two Parades”), while reading material from her performance art collection book “Chapter 38 v1”. During the second round, she even sang a song with John on guitar that appeared in “Chapter 38 v1”, and in the final round of reading, she even read a poem (for the parades theme) from her poetry book “Close Cover Before Striking”.

the New World Forbidden Respect our Existence or Expect our Resistance the End of the World Question Everything The False Portrait Shining
    Because the man who usually starts every round of readings, Thom Woodruff, had a sort throat and could not speak at this open mic, Janet Kuypers tried to fill Thom’s shoes by reading poetry by Thom that appeared in 7 issues of the Scars Publications cc&d books “The New World”, “Forbidden”, “Respect our Existence or Expect our Resistance”, “The End of the World”, “Question Everything”, “The False Portrait”, and the to-be-relased 25-year anniversary issue of cc&d (v284), “Shining”.

    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 April 28th 2018 (4/28/18, or 20180428) at the Georgetown Public Library for the Poetry Aloud open mic 4/28/18 in Georgetown TX event.
