live 4/26/20 at wherever you are, join Janet Kuypers with
multiple poem readings in “The 2020 #poetrybomb


    After the Coronavirus/Covid 19 2020 outbreak, the Poetry Bomb (started in Chicago on the last Sunday of April at 3:30 PM CST) asked that 2020 be a social media bomb, by reading at home, but hash-tagging everything #poetrybomb. Janet Kuypers opted to read poetry from two new Scars Publications issue collection books, the cc&d magazine February-April 2020 issue collection book “Aiming at Immortality” (with a perfect cover image of the Sears (Willis) Tower peeking out from above a layer of clouds, since the Poetry Bomb was founded in Chicago), and the Down in the Dirt magazine February-April 2020 issue collection book “Foundations”.

    Below are video links (YouTube uploads and live Facebook stream videos) from April 26th 2020 (4/26/20, or 20200426, or 26 Feb 2020), where Janet Kuypers read her poetry in multiple rounds from Scars Publications books for “The 2020 #poetrybomb”.
