an Artist’s Take on Science Janet Kuypers Periodic Table of Poetry mini-feature

“an Artist’s Take on Science”
Periodic Table of Poetry readings
in Janet Kuypers’ 20131213 feature
at Fine Arts Building in downtown Chicago, live at the
“Fine Arts Building Winter Celebration ... and Poetry, of Course”

    Located at the Fine Arts Building, 410 South Michigan Avenue (across from Grant Park in Chicago in the Chicago Landmark Historic Michigan Boulevard District) and hosted by Robin Fine (withy hourly hosts for the rolling poetry mini-features throughout the evening) on Friday the 13^th (12/13/13), this annual “Fine Arts Building Winter Celebration ... and Poetry, of Course” event was an evening of 5 minute (or 3 poems) poetry features from well-known Chicago poets, including a show by Janet Kuypers (with many others throughout the evening)... Kuypers, during the 8:00-9:00 hour (the finale hour of this event, with G.P.A. (the poetic unsub) as emcee), read shorter never-before-read Periodic Table of Poetry poems in her mini feature “an Artist’s Take on Science”, with poems that are related to some of the elements in the Periodic Table at this event.

    These shorter “Periodic Table of Poetry” poems were accompanied with a music from the 2011 “Hotel Music” series from the HA!Man of South Africa (Francois Le Roux), and this set included newer (less known to the average person) elements that she was able to write more poetically about, because as she has been writing poems for every element in the Periodic Table, she is getting towards the end, where she is able to write about remaining elements that are less known to the general public (which therefore allows for more poetic license when interpreting these elements for poetry).

    This feature was recorded with two video cameras (Canon and Sony), and Scars Publications even released an online PDF file chapbook of “an Artist’s Take on Science” (available as a free download any time).
