Beach Poets 7/10/11

    On July 11th, Janet Kuypers was a featured reader at the Beach Poets (hosted by Cathleen Schandelmeier, with music host Peter C. Bartels) weekly show at Loyola Beach in Chicago. Because July 11th 2010 is the 12 year anniversary of the date she was almost killed in a car accident, Kuypers opted to read and perform work relating to both death (from that accident) and a ‘rebirth’ after she survived. Without a microphone, she read not only poetry written both before and after the accident, but also interjected journal-style commentary about the accident and recovery. Two original songs on the beach with guitarist John Yotko started and ended this 20+ minute live feature.

    Beach Poets is held at 4 to 6 pm at Loyola beach (Greenleaf and the lake, just east of Sheridan Road and 4 blocks north of the Loyola el stop, near Heartland Cafe).

    You can also download or view the chapbook for the show, called Death ‘n’ Rebirth, which contains the material she performed live at this show.
