Janet Kuypers reads her poetry in the “July 2018 Book Release Reading” live at Half Price Books 7/4/18 in Austin

July 4th marked not only Independence Day in the United States, but also 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). July 6th also marked a July 2018 Book Release Reading of new books from Scars Publications, which saw the release of the cc&d July-August 2018 v285 7-8/18 issue 6x9 ISBN# paperback book “Black and White” and the July-August 2018 issue (v159) of Down in the Dirt magazine’s issue/book “The Last Guru”.     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”. And as an added bonus to the final reading, Janet Kuypers also also finished by reading three poems from her poetry performance art book “Chapter 38 v1”.     There is also a YouTube playlist of the videos of this show, and there are also the web page listing for the videos from this show — at Scars Video (at www.artvilla.com/scars).     Below are video and writing links to the live performance of poetry readings from July 4th 2018 (7/4/18, or 20180704) at Half Price Books in Austin for the Community Poetry @ Half Price Books event.
