Beach Poets July 2^nd 2023 (6/26/22)

Janet Kuypers was the feature at Beach Poets at Leone Beach at Loyola Park (Greenleaf and the lake, just east of Sheridan Road and 4 blocks north of the Loyola L stop).     CyberWit.net recently published (during women’s history month, March 2023) the Janet Kuypers poetry book “Testament”, so in her first poetry appearance in Chicago, her feature contains readings of poems from Part One of this book, all about women’s issues with poetry post-Roe v. Wade overturning in the United States.     An online-only chapbook of the material for this show was also released, “Bringing Women’s Battles to the Beach” (since this performance was originally supposed to be on the beach, but because of rain was held in front or Archie’s Cafe).

On to the show...

These are just a few photos from 7/2 of Janet being old school with her clock necklace, Reader t-shirt, and book earrings for her “Testament” poetry book feature during Beach Poets, which, of course was under an awning in front of (closed) Archie’s Cafe in the rain.
