The Lake County Poets Society (hosted by Jackie Harris) was a poetry open mic that ran for years. Below are mp3 and video clips from Janet Kuypers performances at the Lake County Poets Society.
The 08/22/06 poems are from a preparation show for the 2006 Chicago Poetry Fest finale performance at the 2006 Society of Professional Journalism Expo’s Chicago Poetry Showcase of A Celebration of the First Amendment on Saturday, August 26, from 1 until 4 PM at the Hyatt Regency, 151 E. Wacker Drive, in Chicago.
The 10/06/06 clips were performed and recorded for a Lake County Poets Society television show, which aired four times (broadcast from Lake County) in December 2006.
