Janet & Dave Johnson Facebook tells me that this photo of mine from 3 years ago today was my Most Liked photo of 2017 (I don’t know if it’s because Cynthia and Dave are with John and me, or if it’s because we’re at the 1st and only Guinness brewery in the United States). So to cap 2020, this is a perfect way to hope everyone has a happy new year to everyone across the country and around the globe - Happy New Year!

Thanks for making a point to “like” this video on its Facebook page as well as on its “Audio Video Poetry/Songs Online Out Loud...Listen In”, “Austin Artmosphere Artists”, “Poetry Super Highway”, , and “Poets On Fire Worldwide” posts too - getting this positive feedback from everyone really reinforces our efforts to keep poetry readings alive this way, and remember that you can still always see this YouTube video online any time.

Janet & John Facebook tells me that this photo of mine from 3 years ago today received the Most Comments of 2017 (John is pouting in the photo because that year the Bears beat the Steelers, but seeing me wearing nutcracker ornaments as earring is inspiring me to do that this year for today). So in 2020, the Steelers are doing better than the Bears (but we managed to stay in the hunt for the playoffs this week, which is double-plus cool), and today it doesn’t matter if the weather outside is frightful. We both wish everyone a very happy Christmas!

the 2021 poetry review date book The 2021 Poetry Review date book” is now live, but Amazon claims “technical difficulties” for not making our type corrections to the book (all while people might want to order this book before Christmas), so... Scars Publications JUST released the poetry review (and select artwork) collection book “The 2021 Poetry Review date book” despite Amazon! This 2021 weekly calendar is a 6"x9" perfect-bound paperback book with writing for every week of the year, chosen from accepted writings in 2020 issues of cc&d magazine and Down in the Dirt magazine. A listing of all the authors and titles of writings is available at Scars online, and this calendar book (with U.S. and U.K. holidays) is now available through Amazon throughout the U.S. and Canada, the U.K., all of Europe, and even Japan - and Amazon now mails this calendar to Australia too! This perfect-bound date book even has the last 11 days of 2020 and the first 8 days of 2022 too, so this calendar book is perfect for not only planning your year but also enjoying good writing year-round!
The error we found and have been waiting for Amazon to update is in one poem title being bolded, and one author name in the table of Contents does not list the title of their poem there. If anyone orders this and finds other errors in the inside pages, let us know, and we can correct them for Amazon to update - when they get THEIR problems figured out...

november events Granted, this Facebook November Memories Story Archive only displays listing after the 15th, but it is cool to share highlights like my Chicago DvA art gallery poetry show “Conflict • Contact • Control”, my Loyola “Beach Poets 8/14/05 feature”, my reading November poetry from the Janet Kuypers book “Every Event of the Year (Volume Two: July-December)” in my Illiniwek shirt for the Café Gallery book reading series, and poetry highlights from my cable access “Texas Nafas Poetry” tv show... it missed out on my “Poetic License” open mic (while I hosted from New Orleans), and I hope that December brings fun events to share with everyone!

I have a favor to ask all my poet friends who know my poetry... An international publisher (Taj Mahak Review/ Cyberwit) offered to publish/design a book of 60 of my poems (some of my best pieces, I hope), for a publication date of round January 1st of 2021. Then they asked me for title ideas, and maybe images for the book cover. I have no idea how this is being printed (color gloss cover paper stock small run), but I would LOVE input on what the title of this book should be of my poetry. Please list for me you book titles ideas for my upcoming book!
When people like James Gordon know “Death takes many forms.”, and Oz Hardwick knows “On a High Horse Like This” or “Everything Was Alive and Dying”, and when Cathleen Ann Schandelmeier know poems like “I’m Thinking About Myself Too Much”, and Louise Gail Richardson knows “Us, Actually Touching”, and yes, Dave Gecic even know poems like my “Under the Sea”, so I would love to hear what you all think. I really look forward to your response and your input for a book title for this new book - and thanks!

poems I brainstormed for title ideas last night, and the better ideas included:

Immersed in the World
Weathering the Storm

and maybe the best one,

Forks in the Road

Then my husband John was looking at the poems in this collection (where I placed each poem a notecard I spatially figured out their order in the book). He said that with Scars books I choose a title based on a poem title. So we started going through the poems (some were RIGHT out), but one of the poems is titled

Eternal,
Never-Ending
Now

and I wondered how THAT sounded. Any thoughts?

(Also, I was asked to think of or generate photography or imagery for the cover, and it would have to be based on the title too. Where do I go from here?)

cover idea Jason, Pete, thanks for your input. I have been still waiting to hear from the printer people to find out what type of cover it is (because my design would depend on if it was a b&w on paper of a full-color bleed photo-quality cover), but John and I agree with Jasonon that poem title, and I came up with a front and back cover idea based on it... I left tons of back cover space for the bar code or printer imprint (they told me they wanted my photo and bio for the back cover), and I didn’t design a spine because I don’t know (A) the width of the book or (B) what they want to write on the spine. (The cover is not something I’d usually use, but thought water rippling and reflecting trees might work...)

Janet Kuypers timing vine video still You know, on this day in 2014 I posted YouTube and Vine video from 2/12/14 at The Cafe Gallery, and I even re-posted it on both 12/2/16 and 12/3/16 - but now, because Facebook thinks that Vine is competition (a company dead for years) and now is blocking the past sharing of Vine videos, they’ve even blocked the post for the YouTube video as well (oh, how temperamental these corporate monoliths can be). So, just to get this past video on record once and for all, check out the Vine and the YouTube video of Janet Kuypers reading her haiku “timing” at Chicago’s the Café Gallery open mic that I hosted for years.

Thank you for the views (111 earlier this morning, but true to YouTube’s thievery, they then pulled ALL of the views - so it had no views but a thumbs up status and a comment - and now it is all the up to 5 views) of the YouTube video of Janet Kuypers watching the third airing of her half-hour “Texas Nafas Poetry” TV show 11/19/20, watching her interview and her poem readings of “Our Color, Our Gender, Our Creed”, “the Burning”, “Fantastic Car Crash”, “Everything Was Alive And Dying (12/8/19 studio TV show recording)”, “Us, Actually Touching”, “Beauty in the Eyes of Einstein”, and “And I’m Wondering”. Thanks to all for keeping poetry alive during this pandemic (and thanks for the “likes” this video got on posts like the “Poets On Fire Worldwide” post), and remember that you can always see this YouTube video of the third television airing of the Janet Kuypers half-hour “Texas Nafas Poetry” TV show 11/19/20 on YouTube online any time still...

Thank you for the views (I cannot believe it, 68 so far) of the long YouTube video (it was originally out as TWO live Facebook video streams because of the length) of me reading my essay “Pornography” from the Janet Kuypers poetry book “Close Cover Before Striking” live 10/7/20. I have been reading these old book essays to get audio recordings to clean up for the eventual release of the audio CD set for this book, so thanks to all for keeping the literary world thriving during this pandemic. Remember that you can always see this YouTube video of me reading my essay “Pornography” from the Janet Kuypers poetry book “Close Cover Before Striking” on YouTube too.

I haven’t been able to do as much with others in Zoom meetings at the beginning of November, but it is intriguing to see October highlights, like reading at the Spoken Word Paris/Online and the Open Mic Showcase and the Virtual Austin Poetry Society New World Poetry open mic. It was cool to reflect on the “8 poems, 8 days, 8 invites” days (where I shared a lot of the poems from my Nafas TV show this year (reading from a bunch of different Janet Kuypers poetry books), as well as one of my best poems after my final Chicago feature “Like a Lamb to the Slaughter.” It even had highlights my 10/6/20 book reading from The Café Gallery 2020 book reading series! Facebook missed my Poetic License open mic 10/4/20, but it is still cool to see some of these past poetry highlights...

You are all the best.

Hi there. This is a call-out to my poetry writers from cc&d magazine - because I wanted to ask you for your poetry.

As I have been designing upcoming issues of cc&d, I am getting and accepting a lot of longer prose (as well as flash fiction), which is cool. But the poetry (the passionate stuff) section of cc&d is the first section in each book, and I want to give that front poetry section in each issue a good amount of space. So, if you have poetry on file, or have friends that may be interested in submitting their poetry to cc&d, send them me (if you do not have the cc&d email address, let me know, and I can give it to you). We would like to give future poetry all the space it deserves in cc&d.

P.S.: Right now we are looking for poetry for the “v309 May 2021” issue as well as the “v310 June 2021” issue, and June is the 28-year anniversary issue. Let’s flood the world with poetry! http://scars.tv/ccd

It was a great idea from a great birthday boy - Happy Birthday, Victor Phan!

treads It was fascinating to get an email today from Michael Kimbro this morning to let me know that he used my (as he described it) “awesome highway debris photo” on his post to link to his poem about the threat posed to motorcycle riders by the dangerous debris on our nation’s highways. His link leads to his poem with his debris photos (I assume they are his), but I’m glad my photo worked for his post (and thanks to Michael Kimbro for saying that Janet is an incredible poet and performer>).

biker black death Politics blows! So today’s poetry is about something different, namely the threat posed to motorcycle riders by the dangerous debris on our nation’s highways. Yo, Steve Hillman, Robb Wanderscheck, Cycle World Magazine, Rider Magazine, Motorcyclist Magazine, Easyriders Magazine, and the Kentucky Arts Council. BTW, while the blame for the 3 dog meat pics within the poem falls entirely on my shoulders, the original awesome “Road Gator” photo was by Janet Kuypers.

Death Takes Many Forms

by Janet Kuypers

It is winter now.
The trees have lost their leaves;
the city is covered in a thin layer of soot and snow.
The grass is dead.
In the sunless sky black birds circle overhead
searching for prey.
An eerie cold settles over everything.
Nothing is growing anymore.

Death takes many forms.
For you, death first came when you were five years old
and your mother had to give you three shots of insulin a day
until you could take a needle to yourself.
Did it hurt to push that needle into your arm, the first time?
Or did it hurt you more to know you had no choice?

Death takes many forms.
Death can be someone telling you without trying
that they are losing their sight.
Behind coke-bottle glasses you would see me and say,
“That’s a nice black suit you’re wearing.”
And I would tell you, “It’s green.”
And you wouldn’t believe me.
You wouldn’t hear the howling wind of the changing seasons.

Death takes many forms.
I know what follows the autumn wind.
It is winter now.
Do you remember when it happened?
The changes are subtle, the temperature drops,
first only slightly. It’s almost imperceptible.
Only when the first snow falls do you realize
where the seasons have gone.

Death takes many forms.
Death can be a sweat-soaked shirt, the shakes, dizziness
when you needed food.
You would look as pale as a ghost
as I would hold your cold wet arm and steady you.
Quick, some sugar will make everything better.
Isn’t everything better yet?

Death takes many forms.
The signs of death can come
when you lose your circulation.
“My feet are numb, Janet,” you’d say.
“I can’t feel my feet anymore.”
And I would rub your feet for you,
and you would say it makes a difference,
you feel better.

If only I could do this forever.

Death takes many forms.
I said good bye to you to travel my own road
but I didn’t think it was the last good bye.
How was I to know?

When I left, I knew you didn’t want me to go.
And now it’s my turn.

Why are we always saying good bye to each other?

Are you trying to teach me a lesson?
Because if you are, well,
I’ve learned it. Trust me, I have.
You can come back now.

Death takes many forms.
And now, now it seems
you’ve taken me down with you
you’ve taken me into that casket with you
and I’m running my hand along your jacket lapel
and I can feel the coldness of winter all around me
and I can hear them shoveling the dirt over my head
and I want to get out
and I want to take you with me.

Death takes many forms.
Death can be that hole you left,
you know, right over here, just a little to the left.
I keep wondering when the pain will go away.
When will everything be better.

You once showed me that winter could be beautiful.
Instead of the dark and dirty snow lacing the city streets
you showed me a quieting snowfall,
over a lake at your parent’s back yard
glistening in an untouched whiteness.
I told you I hated winters
and you told me, “This you don’t hate.”

Well, I’m still learning.

It is winter now.
And death takes many forms.
The seasons change for you and I.
It is snowing. And something is ending.
It is snowing. Somewhere
it is snowing.

And I’m Wondering

by Janet Kuypers

I’m wondering if there’s something
chemical that brings people together,
something that brings people to their
knees, somethings that sucks them in

And I’m wondering if you’re sensing what I’m
sensing, is it just me, am I making this up
in my head, or when I glance up and catch your
eyes, well, are you actually staring at me

And I’m wondering if it could work out this
time, if we’d have one of those relationships
that no one ever doubts, especially us,
because we know we’ll always be in love

And I’m wondering if you’d find
my neurotic pet-peeves charming
like how I hate it when someone touches
my belly because I’m so self conscious

And I’m wondering why you had to tell me
when we happened to be sitting next to each
other that the fact that our legs were almost
touching was making your heart race

And I’m wondering why I felt the need
to take your cigarette and inhale, exhale
while the filter was still warm from
your lips, there just seconds before

And I’m wondering if a year or two from now,
after we’ve been going out and should have
gotten to the point where we are bored with
each other and sink into a comfortable rut

if you saw me making macaroni and cheese
in the kitchen using margarine and water
because I’m out of milk and I’ve got my hair
pulled back and strands are falling into my

eyes and I’m wearing an oversized button-down
denim shirt and nothing else, well, what
I’m wondering is if you would see me
like this and still think I was sexy

When I glance up and catch your eyes from
across the room, when I see your eyes dart
away, when I feel this chemical reaction, well,
what I’m wondering is, can you feel it too

Beauty in the Eyes of Einstein

by Janet Kuypers

I heard NASA scientists say
that Einstein dismissed some of his theories

even some theories we may know all too well

but Einstein didn’t like some of his theories
because he thought they weren’t beautiful

and I wonder:
what is beauty

is it the geomagnetic aberrations
of the Aurora Borealis
dancing along the horizon
at the arctic circle

is it the way you look at me
with those gorgeous doe eyes
after we’ve been apart so long

is it the scattered collisions from comet
Shoemaker Levy-9 into the planet Jupiter

is it what I feel
when your arms are finally around me
and I don’t want to open my eyes
and I never want to let go

is it the eternally changing
whisps of volcanic trails
in the Saturn moon Titan’s atmosphere

is it the way that listening
to the music you make
fills me with such energy

or is it converting matter into pure energy
with just the right formula

Einstein believed
“The most beautiful thing
we can experience
is the mysterious.
It is the source
of all art and science.”

so am I driven
to look up at the stars in the night sky
to see stars from billions of years ago
to fall in love every night

Einstein reminds us,
“We are all ruled
in what we do
by impulses”

so is it how on impulse
I move a bit closer to you
so I can feel the heat from your body
so close to mine

we ask, what is beauty

they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder
so it makes me wonder

Us, Actually Touching

by Janet Kuypers

I heard a physicist explain
that when two solid objects
are pressed together
they never actually touch

I can’t imagine it
but maybe
because electrons repel
all objects remain one molecule apart

I wonder if this is why
when I see you
and when we embrace
I want to hold you tighter and tighter

because I want to defy
the laws of physics
and feel that contact with you
as long as I possibly can

is this why whenever we embrace
I want my face at your neck
so that I inhale you deeply
I breathe you in

because I want to experience you
with all my senses
I want our molecules to intermingle
I want us to actually touch

Everything Was Alive And Dying
(12/8/19 studio TV show recording)

by Janet Kuypers

I had a dream the other night
I walked out of the city
to a forest
and there were neatly paved bicycle paths
and trash cans every fifty feet
and trash every ten

as I walked, there was a stray cat
she still had her little neon collar on
with a little bell
and she walked a few feet,
stretched her front paws,
oh, she looked so darling
and then she walked right up to me
and she said thank you
and I said for what?
And she just looked at me for a moment,
her little ears were standing straight up,
and then she said, you know,
in some countries I’m considered a delicacy.
And I said how do you know of these things?
And she said,
when somebody eats one of you
word gets around
and then she looked up at me again
and said, and in some countries
the cow is sacred. Wouldn’t they
love to see how you humans
prepare them for slaughter,
how you hang them upside-down
and slit their throats
so their still beating hearts
will drain out all the blood for you
and she said isn’t it funny
how arbitrary your decision
to eat meat is?
and I said, don’t put me
in that category, I don’t eat meat
and she said I know

and I woke up in a sweat

so tell me, Ted Canadian Cuban Cruz
so tell me, Nancy my eyes are pried open Pelosi
so tell me, Mitch the slowest turtle McConnell
so tell me, Crooked Hillary Clinton
so tell me, Entertainer in Chief Donald Trump
so tell me, Barrack Hussein Obama
if you woke up from that dream
would you be in a sweat, too?

Because everything is linked here
we destroy our animals
so we can be wasteful and violent
we destroy our plants
we destroy our earth
we’re even destroying our air
we wreak havoc on the soil, on the atmosphere
we dump our wastes into our lakes
we pump aerosol cans and exhaust pipes

and you think I’m extreme?

so I’m beginning to think
that we just keep doing it
because we don’t know how to stop
and deep inside we feel the pain of
all that we’ve killed
and we try to control it by
popping a chemical-filled pain-killer

we live through the guilt
by taking caffeine, nicotine, morphine
and we keep ourselves thin with saccharin
and we keep ourselves sane with our alcohol poisoning

the thing is, in the wild
you have no power over anyone else

now that we’re “civilized”
we create our own wild

maybe when we have all this power
the only choice we have
is to destroy ourselves

and so we do

Fantastic Car Crash

and our life is one big road trip now
and we set the cruise control
and make our way down the expressway.

and most of the time we’re just moving
in a straight line, and the scenery
blurs. there’s nothing to see

but I know what’s inside you and I
know what you’re made of. I know
there’s no such thing as a calm with you

you are a fantastic car crash. you stop
traffic in both directions as the gapers gawk and
the delay grows and they slow down and stare

everything shatters with you, you know.
it’s a spectacular explosion. I try
to duck and cover as metal flies

through the air. and every time you leave
the scene of the accident
I am left picking up the shards of glass

from the windows. you know, the glass breaks
into such tiny little pieces. they look like
ice. it takes so long to pick up the pieces

even though I’m careful
I’m still picking up the pieces
and I’m still on my knees

and the glass cuts into my hands
and the blood drips down to the street.
think of it as my contribution

to this fantastic car crash
that is you, that is me, that is us
as I pull the glass from my hands

and I wave my hand to the line of traffic:
go ahead, keep driving, this happens
all the time, there’s nothing to see here

The Burning

I take the final swig of vodka
feel it burn it’s way down my throat
hiss at it scorching my tongue
and reach for the bottle to pour myself another.
I think of how my tonsils scream
every time I let the alcohol rape me.
Then I look down at my hands —
shaking — holding the glass of poison —
and think of how these were the hands
that should have pushed you away from me.
But didn’t. And I keep wondering
why I took your hell, took your poison.
I remember how you burned your way
through me. You corrupted me
from the inside out, and I kept coming back.
I let you infect me, and now you’ve
burned a hole through me. I hated it.
Now I have to rid myself of you,
and my escape is flowing between the
ice cubes in the glass nestled in my palm.
But I have to drink more. The burning
doesn’t last as long as you do.

Our Color, Our Gender, Our Creed

Janet Kuypers
1/21/19 (on Martin Luther King, Jr. day)

There is a house inside of me.
It’s a house with a rich heritage
brimming with the knowledge
of how our souls have flourished,
and about how it all can be so quickly taken away.

There is a house inside of me
that has had to shut down
to hide everything away, because
those who didn’t look like me
decided that I was nothing, and treated me accordingly.

There is a house inside of me.
It’s pulse has an infectious rhythm
that we’ve had to stifle, to hide from
your generic white bread world; we only
let it out when we’re alone, to save us from your madness.

There is a house inside of me.
I’ve hidden it away, I’ve sealed it up
and placed it deep within, brimming
with my history and my future, and I
don’t let it out when people can’t think of me as human.

There is a house inside of me.
I’ve put boards over the windows
to save myself from your storm.
With your wrath, I’ve learned to
not fight back — only because my captor won’t listen.

There is a house inside of me.
And this house will stand strong
even after you have raped me,
beaten me, tortured me, tried to
kill me, treated me as nothing. But you were so wrong.

There is a house inside of me.
And what you don’t realize is that
this house will outlast yours. Trust me.
If your house was built on distrust
and such blatant disrespect, your house is bound to collapse.

Because after all this time, and after
my wanting to fight, I have learned
that passive resistance is only part of
my story. Because in these struggles
I have gained a wisdom and a connection that is beyond

this house inside of me, beyond
this sharing, this inquisitive mentality.
So I want you to remember, this house
is a symbol for all like me, and for those
not like me too. Because, I have a dream that everyone

who has suffered like this — and even
those who have not — should share
their stories with all of the world,
no matter our color, our gender, our creed.
This is my dream. Because this is how we truly grow.

After having a long FB discussion about YouTube removing views from my videos (including Ciara M. Blecka actually commenting yesterday that one YouTube video of mine had 86 views), it is fitting that I caught a screenshot of my YouTube video of poetry readings 9/24/20 during the Virtual Austin Poetry Society with 132 views (since now YouTube lists 30-something views). Either way, I want to thank those for the “likes” posted at “Contemporary Poets, Their Works, Current Poetry Projects, News, Links” and “Poets House (Library and Literary Center, New York, NY)”.

What an amazing month for reading poetry, and how to share poetry from so many new Scars Publications books too. It is a shame that we still have to be apart (how unfair, that pandemic), but it is cool to see my reading at the Virtual Austin Poetry Society (poetry from the Down in the Dirt v174 8/20 book “Drowning in the Darkness” and the cc&d 7/20 v299 book “So Much Moon”) as well as at Spoken Word Paris/Spoken Word Online (poetry from the cc&d 9/20 v301 book “The Zero Sum of Talking Heads”). I am SO PLEASED that I have the opportunity to reinstate The Café Gallery 2020 book reading series with readings from the cc&d July-December 2018 expanded issue collection book “Among the Debris” and the Janet Kuypers poetry book “Every Event of the Year (Volume Two: July-December)”. It was great reading for “Poetic License” (with reading poetry from books like the Down in the Dirt 9/20 v175 book “In the Singularity”) and the Open Mic Showcase (with a lot of new Periodic Table Twitter Verse poems) this month... and HOW COOL to see an old photo with Sandra Kuypers I got to share for her birthday, a photo from my youth in a trip to Florida! All I can say is that I hope these restrictions will be safe to lift soon and we can all see each other face to face again very soon!

Advisory: no type has been changed in this or any of my similar uploaded screenshots. I am just pleased that my YouTube video receives as many as 105 views on the first day (I have learned it is best to record these events since YouTube has a penchant for removing almost all views to my videos after being online for over a day). So all I can say is thanks everyone for watching poetry videos like this one.
(And btw, thanks to all who gave “likes” to my “Valkyrie attempts” and “Kill with Impunity” 9/29/20 poetry YouTube video reading at “Contemporary Poets, Their Works, Current Poetry Projects, News, Links”, “Poets on Fire Worldwide”, “The Austin Poets Association”, “Poets House (Library and Literary Center, New York, NY)”, aand “Audio Video Poetry/Songs Online Out Loud...Listen In” - and thanks at Audio Video for commenting my video

Wildflowers I have a short piece of writing out in Children Churches & Daddies, which can be ordered or read online (link in comments). Ecosystem of Eternal Sacrifice is a short vignette playing with the concept of Hell. In a hallucinogenic style I’m playing with Judeo-Christian imagery, which can very morbid and dramatic. The mythology surrounding an underworld must be enduring because it stirs a place deep inside the human psyche. Maybe this why this older piece of mine coming to light at this time of collective angst seems appropriate.
There are no page breaks, which is intentional. I wanted it to seem dense like something that is hard to get through. I exaggerate ideas of Western morality and often flip the concepts on their heads. In this way it is dark but hopefully the playful humor comes through. Ecosystem of Eternal Sacrifice is part of a full-length book of intertwined short pieces called The Serum of Ipecac, which CC&D has been publishing bit by bit now for over a decade. Thanks again to Janet Kuypers for printing such visions, which most publishers wouldn’t dare touch.

I want to thank David Leo Sirois and everyone at the Spoken Word Paris/Spoken Word Online open mic Monday. I am sorry I was late (work never ends), but I am glad I heard the feature.

(And thank you to everyone for positive feedback, I saw comments in the chat but did not want to respond because I thought it would be rude to not pay attention to other readers at the open mic. And btw, people have said to me that I seem to be only trying to sell books... I publish books, so I will read from them and maybe show them off, but I have never mentioned sale pages or told anyone to buy them. In fact, the two books I read from Monday were not even available for sale until today. Everything I do is just in an effort to get the word out about poetry AND poetry books, and I just hope people like hearing poetry on different themes when I am able to read at this global open mic.)

Poetic License virtual open mic 9/6/20 Got any plans Sunday?

If you’ve received the Poetic License Zoom meeting then you’re set, but if you WANT the Poetic License 9/6/20 Zoom meeting invite, then send Janet Kuypers your interest with your email address, and you can receive your official invitation - or get the link for the “Poetic License virtual open mic 10/4/20” Zoom meeting on October 4, 2020, from 3:30-5:30 PM CST!

Since someone asked about the time the Zoom meeting starts, it is in the first paragraph of the event page: Zoom host John F. McMullen will start the Zoom space about a half-hour early if you would like to get acquainted with other people attending this monthly open mic. (Host Janet Kuypers will probably come ~10 minutes before the 3:30 PM CST start time.)

Janet & Kottyn Wow, Kottyn, Facebook just sent me a note this morning of the places we’ve been to together. One is “Let Them Eat Chocolate” in Chicago - that is now closed, one is “Opal Divine’s” at Parmer and I35 in Austin - that is now closed, and one is Chicago’s “the Gallery Cabaret” which is temporarily closed due to the COVID 19 pandemic. Is that it bringing us together causes the eventual downfall of places, or does this mean we’ve been friends so long that we outlast the places we visit? I think it means that when we’re in the same town we have to get together... what do you think?

We all would not still be so in love with The Gallery Cabaret if it wasn’t for Kenny, and we will all miss him dearly. All Chicagoans want to keep the poetry, art, and music scene alive in your honor.

I love the Impressionist paintings we see when local WFLD 32 Chicago television becomes scrambled when so many people are trying to watch football’s first game. At least we can follow the Bears game... (I also appreciate them never showing the empty stands and piping in crowd noise. Stellar job, network execs.)

Since the literary world has joined in quarantine times, it is nice when I started running Zoom meetings for my “Poetic License” open mic to get people from outside of Austin (like my Chicago hometown, or people with accepted writing in my literary magazines) and like Trevor Wainwright from across the pond. What is EXTRA nice is that today Facebook made a photo collage presentation of my memories with Trevor. How cool to see images of us from so many different open mics, not only from Zoom meeting but also when Trevor and I were in the same town and we shared poetry on stage together too!

Janet Well, I *have* been doing a lot of reading in August 2020 (it’s a shame that most of my readings were in my library). Enjoyed reading at open mics (like the Virtual Austin Poetry Society), and it is (as always) fun to host “Poetic License”, but it was also fun to prequel my “The Café Gallery 2020 Edition book readings” with August “Builders Book ClubTuesday night poetry readings. I have been pleased to share poetry from the Janet Kuypers book “Every Event of the Year (Volume Two: July-December)”, not only for two WZRD 88.3 FM Chicago radio podcasts but also in book readings all month - and I also look forward to sharing new reading opportunities in September. Thank you to everyone in the poetry community - and stay safe!

It is a shame we all had to stay at home for the “Poetic License virtual open mic 9/6/20”, but thanks again to John F. McMullen for the 2+ hours of Zoom space yesterday! The one excellent-cool thing about running Zoom meetings for Poetic License is that I can not only meet with Austin residents (like Louise Gail Richardson and Thom Woodruff and Susan Rogers), but also people from my Chicago hometown (like Dave Gecic and Lynn West), to contributors to my literary magazines (like Greg G. Zaino for cc&d, and Lorna Wood for Down in the Dirt - and OF COURSE, John F. McMullen is representing for both magazines too) - and thanks to Trevor Wainwright, we even enjoyed a taste of England at this open mic too! THANK YOU to EVERYONE who came by, and I look forward to getting together on the first Sunday of EVERY month to get our Poetic License!

The Café Gallery 9lj1lj20 Book Reading event Scars Publications has just set up a Facebook event page for “The Café Gallery 9/1/20 Book Reading” for TOMORROW NIGHT, starting at 7:00 PM CST.
The Chicago poetry open mic the Café Gallery (2010-2015) for a time ran on Tuesday nights from 7:00-9:00 PM CST that I hosted. When the audience was low at the 7:00 PM start time (when poets ran late and the open mic could not run past 9:00 PM), I would read poetry from released Scars Publications books, that would take from 10 minutes to a half-hour (until the audience was large enough to start the open mic). In homage to this starting of past the Café Gallery open mics on Tuesday nights at 7:00 PM CST, I will read poetry starting at 7:00 PM on Tuesday, September 2, 2020.

When I’m used to seeing NFL team listings of animals in combat (like the Bears playing the Lions, or the Bengals vs. the Rams, or even the Ravens and the Eagles or the Seahawks and the Cardinals), it is interesting to see in the WNBA listing in ESPN2 today not matches pitting animals against animals, but the weather. For it would be intriguing to see how the Storm defeats the Sky. (Since the Sky is the Chicago team, I suppose I hope the Sky wins out over the Storm...)

I only got one photo of readers last night, but thank you to Louise Gail Richardson for hosting the Virtual Austin Poetry Society open mic. Thom, it was good to hear from you (when we are two that Dave Anderson described as “excellent to see live” yesterday), and it was WONDERFUL to meet Josuah Meander too, the editor of Nomad’s Choir! It was great to see Victor Johnson/Birdman313 and everyone there. Thanks to everyone for great poetry!

Jow, aanet and Thom On America’s Got Talent (tv show) there is a spoken word poet named Brandon Leake, that was their first spoken word presentation. He was so good, he actually was a "golden buzzer" which sent him direct to the live shows. Next week, he will compete again in the Semi-Finals. Was an excellent piece that he wrote and spoke.
I want to write a shout-out, and really life up Austin’s poetry community. A few years back we were active in the many performances of spoken word that was happening throughout each week. We have some amazing talent right here in Austin and I want to encourage ya’ll to find their FB pages, follow their Instagram, when things open up go and just listen and be moved, entertained, and inspired. These artists are Joe Brundidge, Janet Kuypers, and Thom Woodruff ! Yes, there are more...many more...but these three easily are so active and excellent to see live! I have 2 books by 2 of them. (PIcs are below). Here’s the link to the audition of Brandon on national tv. Hope you like it. Support the spoken word! It changes you and our world! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdjIFkM-ohQ&t=5s

Dave, this is the nicest thing for you to say and I want to thank you for thinking of us in times like these. I try to continue with book readings online (reflecting my Chicago poetry open mic The Café Gallery on Tuesday nights) as well as maintain my monthly Austin “Poetic License” open mic through Zoom meetings. I may not make it to all open mics (I’m too busy editing my literary magazines cc&d and Down in the Dirt, and publishing books through Scars Publications), but I AM planning to make it to the Virtual Austin Poetry Society New World Poetry open mic tonight (I am guessing that Thom will be there too), where I plan to read new poetry, as well as poetry from the books “Drowning in the Darkness”, “So Much Moon”, and “Every Event of the Year (Volume Two: July-December)”. Thanks again for spreading the word!!!

The Café Gallery 8lj25lj20 Book Reading event Scars Publications has just set up a Facebook event page for “The Café Gallery 8/25/20 Book Reading” for TONIGHT, starting at 7:00 PM CST.
The Chicago poetry open mic the Café Gallery (2010-2015) for a time ran on Tuesday nights from 7:00-9:00 PM CST that I hosted. When the audience was low at the 7:00 PM start time (when poets ran late and the open mic could not run past 9:00 PM), I would read poetry from released Scars Publications books, that would take from 10 minutes to a half-hour (until the audience was large enough to start the open mic). In homage to this starting of past the Café Gallery open mics on Tuesday nights at 7:00 PM CST, I will read will read poetry starting at 7:00 PM tonight.
These live readings will stream as Facebook live video streams on my own Facebook page (to be uploaded to this page after the readings), and they will also be video recorded for later YouTube uploads (that all also appear on the event page).

Poetic License Zoom pics I had a wonderful time yesterday at the Zoom “Poetic License open mic 8/2/20 home edition” meeting yesterday, and thank you to everyone who attended! It is great that we not only hear from locals in the Internet Poetic License open mic, but we also enjoyed Scars Publications literary magazine contributors (and let’s give it up for Down in the Dirt!), as WELL as were able to enjoy a poet from across the pond! The U.K. connection was GREAT, and we LOVED the violin playing yesterday too! Thanks again to everyone, and I hope everyone is looking forward to the NEXT Poetic License get-together on the Sunday before Labor Day, September 6, 2020 (9/6/20)!

Every Event of the Year (Volume Two: July-December) I don’t know if I’ll have the time today at the “Poetic License open mic 8/2/20 home edition” to read from the Scars Publications Janet Kuypers poetry book “Every Event of the Year (Volume Two: July-December)” (via a Zoom meeting, live Facebook streams, and YouTube videos), but if time escapes us, I’ll read events poems previously unread from “Every Event of the Year (Volume Two: July-December)” throughout August in new Facebook and YouTube videos. Also, tomorrow I will be reading (in a ~30 minute life Facebook video stream and for a YouTube video) for a WZRD Chicago 88.3 FM podcast of poems reflecting summer events! So if they’re not read today at the “Poetic License open mic 8/2/20 home edition”, look for “Every Event of the Year (Volume Two: July-December)” readings throughout the month...

Every Event of the Year (Volume Two: July-December) I don’t know if I’ll have the time today at the “Poetic License open mic 8/2/20 home edition” to read from the Scars Publications Janet Kuypers poetry book “Every Event of the Year (Volume Two: July-December)” (via a Zoom meeting, live Facebook streams, and YouTube videos), but if time escapes us, I’ll read events poems previously unread from “Every Event of the Year (Volume Two: July-December)” throughout August in new Facebook and YouTube videos. Also, tomorrow I will be reading (in a ~30 minute life Facebook video stream and for a YouTube video) for a WZRD Chicago 88.3 FM podcast of poems reflecting summer events! So if they’re not read today at the “Poetic License open mic 8/2/20 home edition”, look for “Every Event of the Year (Volume Two: July-December)” readings throughout the month...

Drowning in the Darkness Today is the big day! There was debate with my contributors over the 174 of Down in the Dirt released yesterday, because, since we choose titles based on accepted writings in issues and one of the accepted titles mentioned Hitler, we chose x-rays of Hitler’s skull for the cover, and many debated over whether it was a good idea to use Hitler’s name in the book title. Some loved it (thanks for keeping it real and shocking the system you guys), some thought it was not appropriate for a literary magazine cover (well, then they must not understand how Down in the Dirt likes to tests boundaries that way), and some wondered if his name in the title would reflect poorly on the contributors. So I think we struck a happy medium by choosing another piece of accepted writing for the title, “Drowning in the Darkness”, and I look forward to reading events poetry from it TODAY at the “Poetic License open mic 8/2/20 home edition” Zoom meeting (send us your email for an invite), or post on the Facebook event page starting at 3:30 PM CST Sunday, August 2, 2020! I hope everyone can make it, so EVERYONE can get their Poetic License this afternoon!

Death Waits Outside Today is the big day! I am looking forward to sharing events poetry from the August 2020 v300 issue of cc&d magazine ISBN# paperback book “Death Waits Outside”, a book released YESTERDAY, and who knows, I may read the Thom Woodruff poem “Death Waits Outside” from the book, which was the inspiration for the book title! Some come to the “Poetic License open mic 8/2/20 home edition” Zoom meeting (send us your email for an invite), or post on the Facebook event page starting at 3:30 PM CST Sunday, August 2, 2020!

Poetic License Tomorrow is the big day for the first Sunday of every month “Poetic License” open mic! Be a part of the next installment (normally at the Recycled Reads bookstore in Austin, but closed during the Coronavirus / Covid19 outbreak) — we will have a Zoom meeting for this open mic Sunday, August 2, 2020 at 3:30 PM CST, and will send out invites (CONTACT US with your email to receive an invitation), but keep in mind that group Zoom meetings cut off after ~40 minutes, so... if people get cut off from refreshing the Zoom meeting for the 2 full hours, you can still visit the “Poetic License open mic 8/2/20 home editionFacebook event page to get your Poetic License!

The “Poetic License open mic 8/2/20 home editionFacebook event page will become open to the public for posts directly ON the page by its usual start time, 3:30 PM CST Sunday, August 2, 2020 (even if there IS a Zoom meeting tarting at the same time). Share your creativity with writings posts during the event - audio and video can also be added directly to the page - share videos either as live Facebook videos, or any videos uploaded DURING the event. We provide this space for anyone and everyone (even people outside of Austin) to share their poetry or prose or music! Also, unlike the 3-poem limit AT Recycled Reads, writing posts, audio, and video feeds can be longer for this event page too.

Janet Kuypers will read poetry in Live Facebook stream videos from her library at home (since we cannot be among the bookshelves at Recycled Reads this month) for the Zoom meeting, and after the posts appear on the Janet Kuypers Facebook page (when the open mic ends), those live feeds will be posted on the “Poetic License open mic 8/2/20 home editionFacebook event page, as well as additional videos from the open mic (and maybe photos from the Zoom meeting too). So everyone, stay safe, know that you are loved, and let our creative juices flow!

I want to thank EVERYONE for attending the Zoom meeting for the “Poetic License open mic 7/5/20 home edition” today!

Every Event of the Year (Volume Two: July-December) Scars Publications has been remiss in now sharing the news of the new Scars Publications Janet Kuypers poetry book release reflecting holidays and events of the second half of the calendar year. Released on June 30th, coinciding with the dated of the first (and bonus) poem in the book, enjoy the brand new book “Every Event of the Year (Volume Two: July-December)”! Chicagoans may know from her feature and sell-out (and Austinites may know of her regular readings at open mic and feature bookstore readings) the first book, “Every Event of the Year (Volume one: January-June)”, but this BRAND NEW volume not only is larger (286 pages), and in a slightly larger typeface for easier reading! Reflecting different themes from a vast variety of events, see the Scars web page for this book of not only the dates and events but also video links to readings FROM this book, and order a copy of this timeless (and date specific) through Amazon, now available for sale in the U.S., the U.K, Europe, Japan - and can be ordered in Australia and India too!
