Janet Kuypers’ Poetry’s “Love Letter” live feature reading at Let Them Eat Chocolate, in Chicago 4/10/15 Below are video links from a April 10th 2015 (4/10/15, or 20150410) poetry performance (with accompanying live background guitar from John) in Let Them Eat Chocolate at Chicago’s Poetry’s “Love Letter” (at 5306 N Damen Ave, Chicago, Illinois 60625), with “Love” — which was a feature performance with a series of love poems Kuypers wrote very recently for John (he did not even know about the poems — and he was playing guitar for this show — so this was all a surprise to him)... All of the pieces from this one-time-only reading were also released in a “Love” chapbook, which you can download as a PDF file for free any time. There are also two additional web page listings for the videos from this show — one is at Scars Video (at www.artvilla.com/scars), and the other is from the main listing at artvilla. Below are video links to the live performance of Love at Let Them Eat Chocolate in Chicago. |
