Night Sky

    Below are video links from a November 14th 2019 (11/14/19, or 20191114) poetry performance (with accompanying live guitar background music by John) of Janet Kuypers’ finalé poetry feature “Night Sky” of both old and new astronomy-themed Janet Kuypers poems live at the Texas Night Sky festival in Driftwood, Texas.
    Before the show started she also released copies to there of a chapbook of the writings she was performing in her show, and all of the pieces from this reading were also released electronically in a “Night Sky” chapbook, which was helpful for the people who did not get a limited print copy of the chapbook, so people can download as a PDF file for free any time.
    Below are video links to the live performance of “Night Sky”live at the Texas Night Sky festival in Driftwood, Texas.
