Janet Kuypers reads her poetry in the “June 2018 Book Release Reading” live at Half Price Books 6/6/18 in Austin

June 6th marked the reading space where Janet Kuypers read material from new Scars Publications books for Community Poetry@Half Price Books, which was the only meeting like this at Half Price Books (5555 N Lamar Blvd, Austin, TX). June 6th also marked a June 2018 Book Release Reading of new books from Scars Publications, which saw the release of the cc&d June 2018 v284 6/18 25-year anniversary issue 6x9 ISBN# paperback book “Shining” and the June 2018 issue (v158) of Down in the Dirt magazine’s issue/book “The Painting”.     Because issue collection books have also been recently released, Janet Kuypers also read (in two separate readings) material from the Scars Publications Down in the Dirt January-April 2018 issue collection book “At Midnight” for the final readings of the event. And as an added bonus to the final reading, Janet Kuypers also also finished by reading two poems from her (at the time) upcoming 6/11/18 poetry show titled “Eleven” (because it was a 6/11 show filled with references to the number eleven).     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 June 6th 2018 (6/6/18, or 20180606) at Half Price Books in Austin for the Community Poetry @ Half Price Books event.
