Janet Kuypers reads her poetry in the “May 2018 Book Release Reading” live at Half Price Books 5/2/18 in Austin

May 2nd marked the reading space where Janet Kuypers read material from new Scars Publications books for Community Poetry@Half Price Books, which was the only meeting like this at Half Price Books (5555 N Lamar Blvd, Austin, TX). May 2nd also marked a May 2018 Book Release Reading of new books from Scars Publications, which saw the release of the books “About the Arts” from cc&d magazine; and “The Church” from Down in the Dirt magazine.     Because issue collection books have also been recently released, Janet Kuypers also read (in two separate readings) material from the Scars Publications cc&d January-April 2018 issue collection book “Not a Trace” for the final readings of the event.     There is also a YouTube playlist of the videos of this show, and 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 and writing links to the live performance of poetry readings from May 2nd 2018 (5/2/18, or 20180503) at Half Price Books in Austin for the Community Poetry @ Half Price Books event.
