The Universe is in Your Hands

    WZRD Radio (88.3 FM), with Monica as the D.J. for the morning, had a freeform interview with Janet Kuypers 8/17/24, where Janet Kuypers shared poetry and talked about the inspiration for the release of her CyberWit 2024 poetry book “The Universe is in Your Hands” (with poetry literally around the world about culture and climate, and how it extends throughout the Universe).

Testament
    During this extensive interview time, Janet Kuypers (after hearing a radio PSA about abortion rights post-Roe v. Wade overturning), even hared a poem “Testament” that was read in an Arkansas WNP open mic during this 2024 poetry book tour — and at the end of the interview, Janet Kuypers also shared a poem that she then also read later during this book tour at her Beach Poets and Janet Kuypers feature on 8/18/24 too.
