In this mini-feature (~9 minute) reading, Kuypers read both poetry and prose at the Café. Kuypers read material from her book Close Cover Before Striking (which is now in it’s 2nd printing, with a cover of matches, versus it’s original neon green cover) for later release as part of audio CD releases of her book.
