The Cafe hosts an open mic and a regular feature show at 5115 North Lincoln Ave. (just south of Foster) in Chicago, IL. Because recordings from recent years are so video-intensive, we have separated each weekly recorded listing into its own web page. In the meantime, feel free to choose a date to listen to sound clips from. Recordings are listed from most recent to oldest recordings.Most recordings are of the host (J. Kuypers), but if you have questions about recordings from a certain person but do not know what date they may have read at the Cafe, you can contact Scars Publications to ask about the availability of any specific performer who appeared at the Cafe. There is also a very good chance that their name is listed on this page if they were recorded at the Cafe. (But keep in mind that the performers did give their consent for the recordings, so recordings only exist if they gave consent.)
(Also note that amongst all available audio files available on this page, all Macintosh .aif files, Linux .au files and Windows .wav files are low resolution versions of all of the poetry readings available. The only CD quality versions of these audio recordings are in the available mp3 files.) |
