“After 30 years of poetry, this is what came out.” —Joe Roarty, 4/18/13 “in Homage” “Periodic Table” poem feature for ‘The Return of Joe Roarty’ at the Loft at Fizz Bar     Below are video links from a April 18th 2013 (4/18/13, or 20130418) evening of poetry at 3220 N Lincoln in Chicago, with “in Homage” — many short poems by Janet Kuypers of brand-new, never-before read poetry from her “Periodic Table of Poetry” series chosen for this one-of-a-kind reading...     Kuypers also decided to call her show “in Homage”, because her intention was to set a few shorter Periodic Table poems into this set with a beat (much in the past styles of Joe Roarty).     Since the show has passed, you can now at any time also get the In Homage chapbook of “Periodic Table” poems that were read live at the Loft at Fizz bar in Chicago 4/18/13 as a cc&d supplement PDF file. Enjoy the videos from the live show below.
