Janet Kuypers’ 2023 poetry for “Animal Tales”     Janet Kuypers wrote an animal-themed poem that was accepted for publication in the 2023 book for “Animal Tales”. Janet Kuypers read her poetry during the Tablerock Poetry Festival in 2023 at Tablerock of Salado in Texas 4/29/23.     Because of this unique opportunity to have her poem appear in the “2023 Animal Tales” book and for her to perform her poetry read for the Tablerock Poetry Festival in 2023 at Tablerock of Salado, Janet Kuypers even designed a chapbook (not for mass print distribution but as a thank you and gift to event sponsor Thom and book printer Phillip) containing not only her poem in the book (the first poem she read), but also additional poems she performed in two rounds to highlight her writing: the first additional reading of 3 poems containing one being a more political and emotionally-charge poem about the rights of animals before extinction, and two more light-hearted poems. The last reading of one longer poem was more about the morality of the “use” of animals in humanity, performed with percussion accompaniment.     Below are video links to the Janet Kuypers’ performance for the “2023 Animal Tales” book during the Tablerock Poetry Festival in 2023 at Tablerock of Salado in Texas 4/29.
