Chapter 38 is volume two of the collection book series of the writing (and occasional artwork) from Janet Kuypers which has been performed in poetry readings and performance art shows.
Below is a listing of all of the writings appearing in the book (the artwork is not listed on this page.) Also, we have listed the book contents for these two books side by side, so you can see the differences between them (also, sections missing from volume 1 may appear in volume 2 of Chapter 38 as well). Also, any additional readings and performances before Kuypers’ 39th birthday (like the videoed poetry readings with C Ra McGuirt of Penny Dreadful Press in Nashville Tennessee in the beginning of May 2009) will be placed into a “Chapter 38” chapbook, that will be availlable on line before July 2009. (if there is enough material, this supplement edition of “Chapter 38” may even be released as a perfect-bound bonus book edition.)
