I’m glad you “liked” & “loved” this 30-day now deleted Facebook live video stream — & “liked” & commented nicely on this Facebook live video stream of Janet Kuypers reading her poem “Big Shoulders: This Was Her Home” that talks about Carl Sandburg, in front of Carl Sandburg’s home in Chicago on 8/23/25, because it is in the book “The Universe is in Your Hands” that she gave (with her book “Testament”) to the mini library in front of Carl Sandburg’s home before her reading (filmed and the original streamed from a Samsung S24 camera) on Facebook — getting all of your positive feedback here inspires us to keep our Chicago poetry reading videos alive online this way.

Apparently it was cold enough in New Orleans 8 years ago today that I had to wear a turtleneck under my costume... it just occurred to me that it might get too cold in New Orleans this weekend that my deep v-neck shirt with a brooch might be too cold, and wearing a black turtleneck under my costume will completely conceal the v-neck look (and I have no flesh-colored turtlenecks). I might have a light flesh-toned shirt I could wear under my costume if it gets too cold... I’ll have to research this before leaving.

Thank you for snapping this photo and sharing it 9 years ago today, when we were both moved away from Chicago (but lucky you, you got to move back). Also, thank you for your perfect description of this lit mag editor’s macabre space — my skeleton is in an egg chair now; I might have to photograph it to share for this year’s Halloween “macabre” installment. It’s a shame I didn’t get the chance to see your open mic at The Gallery Cabaret when I was in town, but I’m glad we crossed paths before we had to leave again... You’re the best.

I haven’t been able to sit in my egg chair because the skeleton has been there all month.

I wanted to share this post from two years ago today, because, since Circle Brewing Company had recently closed then, we brought some of their beer to NOLA. It’s a shame we have none left — and it’s a shame we couldn’t get the doppel blur recipe from Jud, because I would have loved to have made some for him when he visits Austin in December.

Two years ago, I was the Solar System, and omg, in this pic from 2 years ago today, John (partially dressed in his Galileo costume, who historically discovered so much in the solar system) looks like he’s eating Titan. Since then,e we named our boy cat Titan (the cutie we just want to metaphorically eat up).

A year after I wore that NOLA Heathers costume, I dressed as the tulpa of Diane from season 3 of Twin Peaks, and since I’m paying homage to David Lynch with my costume this year, I thought, since I have the clothes, I can wear this for the brewery meeting tomorrow night.

This costume I wore 9 years ago today (that I also shared 4 years ago today) is what I wore when I met up with brewers Friday night, but that noose was too heavy to wear the night through (someone then complained that it was a slipknot and not a noose knot, but I didn’t want to literally hang myself with my costume, so this would have to do). I’m meeting brewers tomorrow before NOLA, but I’m not wearing this costume again...https://www.facebook.com/janetkuypers/posts/10225178052132402 |

I dressed in my Heathers costume when we went out & met people Friday, and I told them that I’d dress that way for the brewing contest meeting in Round Rock Wednesday. Since then, I changed my mind (this post I shared 8 years ago today is another reminder for me)... I decided to pay more homage to David Lynch instead and go as the tulpa of Diane. (I have the wig, bracelets, and clothes, but I’m not bothering with the nail polish, since I’ll have to remove those colors the next day to be Laura Palmer in the waiting Room Thursday in NOLA).

Back in the day (before I ran “The Café Gallery” Chicago poetry open mic, after just getting on Facebook, and while I was still new to editing and uploading YouTube videos) is when I shared earlier poetry — from earlier collection books. This video still caught my eye that I shared 9 years ago today (because shares from 10/27/09 are lost) when I read my poem “At Least That’s What I Hear” to a live audience. Although this poem is in the Scars Publications book “Rape, Sexism Life & Death”, it *first* appeared in the cc&d books “finally, literature for the snotty and elite (part one)” & “A Wake-Up Call From Tradition”.

Seeing this memory from 7 years ago today makes me wonder if I still have those contacts so I could have blue eyes for my Laura Palmer costume this weekend in New Orleans, though if we had contact lens liquid for those temporary eye contacts, I don’t think anyone could see the *slight hint* of blue if I wore them, because that is all you see when I put those blue temporaries over my dark brown eyes.A few months after John & I returned from NOLA for Halloween, I speculated that maybe I could go as Laura Palmer in 2025, though I didn’t put much thought into it since I went as her once before, literally wrapped in plastic with Chad to a ΠΚΦ Halloween party (his costume was so easy when he was Dale Cooper, in a suit and filling his coffee mug with beer all night saying, “That’s a damn good cup of coffee”). Shortly after I thought of it, going as her as she was in the waiting room/red room (and not wrapped in plastic), David Lynch passed away (RIP, David). When I heard he died, I thought, I *have* to go as her now, in homage. I have the wig and clothes, and will work on replicating the gold brooch with pearls and green gemstones she wears later today. |

I found this Twin Peaks image that said “It’s Happening Again” (for season 3, 25 years later), and I thought I’d print it to wrap around my cup for absinthe while walking around next weekend, but I thought I’d add a few words to it for my costume this year.

This is just another friendly reminder to all of my “Poetic License” open mic attendees: “Poetic License” is usually the 1st Sunday of every month., but because Halloween weekend is the same weekend as the 1st Sunday this November (and out-of-town travel make the open mic not possible on Sunday, 2 Nov 2025), *this* month’s “Poetic License” is on the SECOND Sunday, November 9th, 2025 (or 20251109, or 20241109, or 9 Nov 2025). So, have a great October, enjoy the Halloween weekend, and we’ll see you on the 2nd Sunday in November for our monthly “Poetic License” this year!

This is a reminder notice notice to cc&d readers and contributors to the 11/26 issue of cc&d. Issues are usually released on the 1st of the month... except this next issue/book of cc&d. Because we will be away from our offices on Saturday, 11/1/25, and Sunday, 11/2/25, we cannot release the cc&d issue/book on 1/1/25, so the 11/25 issue/book of cc&d will be released on Monday, 11/3/25. Hold tight for just a few days before you can enjoy the next issue/book of cc&d, & thanks!

Yay that I was wearing my Jorden jersey, like I wore a few days ago for their 1st game & win of the season (that I watched in the Bulls network channel), and yay for this The Café Gallery 10/6/20 Book Reading of my poetry from the Scars Publications poetry book “Every Event of the Year (Volume Two: July-December)”, that I found in this post that I posted 5 years ago today (on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, and Tumblr). It was great to read event poetry, like my haiku “guard”, my poems “Vampires and Blood-Sucking Mosquitos Alike”, “From Orpheus to Nuking the Moon”, “Kill with Impunity”, “Octopi and Brains”, “Octopi Target McDonald’s”, “Because of Fire”, & “Judging the Chicago Seven”, and my prose “‘the Robot Zombie Witch Girl’ revisited”.

Reading poetry is one thing, so is performing it in a feature show (like my 11/20/11 show “hmmm” at the Café, which is still my highest-paying feature to this date), but it is another thing altogether when that poetry show becomes a CD release too. 12 years ago today, I just released the 4-CD set on Amazon, with the last recording from the Café open mic.https://www.amazon.com/Hmmm-Poetry-Show.../dp/B009YARUPA |

 I just saw this Facebook Friendversary listing with Brian — it is the shame we didn’t get to see each other the last time I was in Chicago, when I was showing off my Mickey Finn’s shirt for Gudenteit. But I’m glad I got some of that beer to go while I was there, because I’m looking forward to drinking it while watching an Illini game tomorrow.

I saw that the 1st game in the Bulls’ basketball season was today — I changed my profile photo to me in my Jordan jersey for the day, but living in Austin, I didn’t think I’d be able to watch the game. Then John discovered that we actually have access to an entire channel for Bulls games... It’s off air a lot of the time, but wow, there is actually a CHANNEL that ONLY plays Bulls games. So we watched it; they were in the lead sometimes as much as 20 points, until they let Detroit catch up in the last 2 minutes. (John even reminded me of how my dad would say they you should just watch the last 2 minutes of any basketball game to see what really matters.) And yay for the Bulls winning their 1st out of 82 games this season...I saw that the 1st game in the Bulls’ basketball season was today — I changed my profile photo to me in my Jordan jersey for the day, but living in Austin, I didn’t think I’d be able to watch the game.

I don’t know how many more opportunities I will have to interject my Periodic Table poetry, or my Periodic Table in Twitter poetry, into future issues of cc&d or Down in the Dirt (since I place them in only when another author has accepted writing that mentions the specific elements), so it is nice to see my Periodic Table poetry highlighting past issues and issue collection books like the Down in the Dirt 5-8/22 issue collection book “The Final Frontier”, when I shared my 10/5/22 post-Covid Community Poetry on Facebook (even in a Scars Publications post) 3 years ago today.

When I saw this post from 9 years ago today, it made me think about how one of the poems I read here, “My Kind of Town”, is one I wrote for my 10/3/12 JK with HA!man of South Africa feature in Chicago. I asked Francois if he could strum a few notes from the *song* ‘My Kind of Town’ while I read this poem, and he has no idea what the song was... It’s a good thing the Chinese man in Beijing knew it when he asked me where I was from and brought up the song (which also made it perfect for “My Kind of Town (The Universe is in Your Hands edit)” to appear in the latest CyberWit Janet Kuypers poetry book, “The Universe is in Your Hands”). It’s also appropriate that this poem is also in the performance art Scars Publications collection book “Chapter 48 (v2)” with the Chicago skyline from the sky over Lake Michigan as the cover.

Oddly enough, when I first saw this memory from 4 years ago today on Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Pinterest, Instagram, and Tumblr, my 1st impulse was *not* to say that 2 of the poems read in this “Poetic License virtual open mic 10/3/21” YouTube video also appear in Janet Kuypers’ Scars Publications book “(pheromemes) haiku, Instagram, Twitter, and poetry”, but that I MISS adding effect, especially ones I not longer have access too (like this triangle effect) to Facebook live video streams. But since Facebook is not keeping live video streams for more than 30 days, I see that I *can* record video with effects through Facebook, but not when it’s live. Maybe I’ll record a few poems in a reading (not live, but just record them with an effect) and upload them during the next reader in every “Poetic License” round robin event, during each open mic, with effect, and not deleted by Facebook.Speaking of... “Poetic License” is usually the 1st Sunday of every month., but because Halloween weekend is the same weekend as the 1st Sunday this November (and out-of-town travel make the open mic not possible on Sunday, 2 Nov 2025), *this* month’s “Poetic License” is on the SECOND Sunday, November 9th, 2025 (or 20251109, or 20241109, or 9 Nov 2025). So, have a great October, enjoy the Halloween weekend, and we’ll see you on the 2nd Sunday in November for our monthly “Poetic License” this year! |

Poetry is with music in this cover, plus singing with poetry in this video from 8 years ago today. Here I hold the Scars Publications book “(pheromemes) 2015-2017 show poems” while reading “Every Street Corner”, following “True Happiness in the New Millennium (2017 Dripping Springs edit)”. Though they’re in other books, get the free chapbooks from live shows with these poems... “Every Street Corner” is in the “Short World Poems on World Poetry Day” Austin feature & chapbook, and “True Happiness in the New Millennium (2017 Dripping Springs edit)” is in both the “Seasons Change” Dripping Springs feature that the City Hall & chapbook, and the “To the Bottom of the Earth and Back” Chicago feature & chapbook.

I’m glad I was able to pay it forward with poetry, in this case, in the poetry marathon for the “8 poems, 8 days, 8 invites” challenge. I was grateful for sharing this poem on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram & Tumblr 5 years ago today, “Us, Actually Touching”, is with a YouTube video reading of this poem from the book “Partial Nudity” during her “Nafas” interview/poetry television show.

I am always honored when I am asked to perform shows in one-time special events (like at the poetry preview show at Austin’s Palmer Events Center for the Awesmic Expo Center 9 years ago today). John was on guitar with all of my poems in this “Ultimate Connectivity” feature & playlist; these poems were also released on the day of my feature in this free “Ultimate Connectivity” chapbook.

In my Chicago show “Janet Kuypers with the music of HA!” on 10/3/12 for the Café Gallery at The Gallery Cabaret, I performed multiple poems about all parts of the world (and in the show, I went from wearing a Warhol wig and dressing like a man to stripping into a silver minidress). I shared many poems from & for this show, including “Been a World Leader”, 13 years ago today (which I also shared on the 4th anniversary of the show, on 10/3/16), which were not only in this JK with HA! feature and chapbook, but also in the Scars Publications book “Post-Apocalyptic”.

Before the elements all had names, I wrote poems for every element of the Periodic Table, and they are now in the Janet Kuypers book “The Periodic Table of Poetry” from Scars Publications.

It *was* a challenge to write poetry for every element in the Periodic Table, and I was grateful for poetry features like the “Crossing Borders for International (and Interplanetary) Peace” feature in Chicago on 10/8/14 with music from the HA!Man of South Africa that I shared 9 years ago today (after my 10/15/14 post). This was my *last* Periodic Table poetry feature, where cc&d also released the bonus “Crossing Boundaries for International (and Interplanetary) Peace” chapbook, but this YouTube video from the show of my poem “Bohrium” appropriately gives a Periodic Table ‘thank you’ to the live audience as well. Everyone can still get the chapbook for free online, but it is also available in this Scars Publications book, “The Periodic Table of Poetry”.https://www.amazon.com/dp/1891470914/ http://scars.tv/.../2014/20141009Crossing... |

Yes, it was cool to see the total solar eclipse on 8/21/17 (it was better than the cloud coverage we got during the total solar eclipse on 4/8/24), but it was *also* cool to see the annular eclipse 2 years ago today. When you looked down during the eclipse, all of the shadows appeared as crescents — the eclipse is cool, but the shadows were also cool. (I even think John and I used a photo from here as one of our Christmas card photos...)

I had to share this Ditka shirt memory in honor of our win tonight (and our 3rd win in a row).I just looked up that Ditka sweater vest to see if I could get one, and they were surprisingly expensive...

I may have read from a few books in my “Poetic License 10/2/22 global open mic” post I shared 3 years ago today on Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Pinterest, Instagram, and Tumblr, but this video still show not only the Scars Publications v326 10/22 cc&d issue/book “Animal Wink”, but also the CyberWit poetry book “Shattering the Glass Ceiling”, which is always worth sharing again. Enjoy the CyberWit Janet Kuypers book “Shattering the Glass Ceiling”, a book released during Women’s History Month about women’s issues, including violence against women, acquaintance rape, and sexism in general, plus women’s issues related to events and dates in the calendar year — and select poems are also printed in English with translations into other languages, plus essays & the “book for men” section too, now on Amazon!https://www.amazon.com/dp/8182538874/ http://www.janetkuypers.com/Shattering_the_Glass_Ceiling/ |

It was nice being able to drink the best hefeweizen made in Illinois at the oldest Illinois microbrewery (with the most excellently named Mickey Finn’s Brewery, in homage to that name’s Chicago history), like I did 12 years ago today. Since it’s seasonal, I’m sure that one of their most popular beers is no longer on tap this year, and I can’t drink it there now, so I’m glad I got a few 4-packs when I was in town. Although I’m not drinking now, I’m looking forward to having a Gudenteit Hefeweizen while watching the Illini game on October 25th, now from my Illini glass.

Periodic Table Poetry posts like this one from 9 & 12 years ago today, when I shared a YouTube video from my show “Opening Act” on 10/4/13, with music from the HA!Man of South Africa in Chicago makes me want to share the book made from these poems. Before the elements all had names, I wrote poems for every element of the Periodic Table, and they are now in Janet Kuypers’ book “The Periodic Table of Poetry” from Scars Publications. Once $11.18 for elements 1-118 before Amazon adjusted pricing, it’s STILL a great deal!https://www.amazon.com/dp/1891470914/ http://scars.tv/periodic.../Periodic_Table_of_Poetry_book.htm |

We didn’t win any awards for only doing the Omniphonic Challenge 1 year, but it was cool that it was held at St. Paul’s (performing in the de-sanctified church) on 10/7/11, and I’m glad John and I performed songs there like “Made Any Difference”, which I shared 9 & 14 years ago today... but it *is* cooll that this live performance *is* one of the tracks on the iTunes “Made Any Difference” CD single!https:/music.apple.com/.../made-any-difference/568701599 |

I loved when I could do Facebook live video streams with effects (like this bubble filter I used when I started the “Poetic License virtual open mic 10/3/21” that I posted 4 years ago today — and it’s a good thing this was a YouTube video and not an eventually-Facebook-deletes video stream. I’m going to have to check to see if I can film with these effects for future open mics (even if that means posting them after the fact instead of live streams). But in the meantime I’ll double-plus like this video, not only for the effects, but also because the poems I read in this video are from the cc&d collection book “What If” (with cover art from video clips from the Van Gogh interactive museum), but most of them are also in the one-of-a-kind Scars Publications book “Every Event of the Year (Volume Two: July-December)”.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089TV3GZG https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089TV3GZG |

Janet Kuypers’ poetry was performed in the 10/7/17 “In Autumn, Love is in the Air” feature at Austin’s the Bahá’í Center, and after the performance, a YouTube playlist and an artvilla page were released... but on the day of the show, a cc&d supplement issue “In Autumn, Love is in the Air” chapbook was also released.

The name for Scars Publications came from the prose poem “Scars”, because we all have scars — both physical and mental — many of which don’t seem to go away. Although I haven’t shared this poem much, my poem “Vanishing Scars” (when when I hosted the “Expressions 2016: the Metaphor of Costumes” at Austin’s Bahá’í Faith Center) is a new perspective on scars, so I am glad it is in the “Book Release & Book Reading” chapbook and the first CyberWit Janet Kuypers poetry book, “Eternal Never Ending Now”.https://www.amazon.com/dp/9390601088/ https://scars.tv/pdf/2017/20170301Book_Release_Reading.pdf |

“An Outline to the Apex of Rites of Passage” is always a fun poem to read (like it was in this YouTube video 9 years ago today at Kick Butt Poetry). This poem is the Janet Kuypers poetry books “Contents Under Pressure”, “It All Comes Down”, “the Kuypers Edition: Blister and Burn”, “A Wake-Up Call From Tradition”, “finally, literature for the snotty and elite v1”, “Evolution”, & “Every Event of the Year (Volume One: January-June)”; this poem also appears in the Scars Publications “boss lady’s” 328-page vol. 4 cc&d collection book “Pulled the Trigger” too.

I shared this YouTube video of me reading my poem “Shared Air” 9/30/15 at Chicago’s Poetry At The Gallery Cabaret 9 & 10 years ago today (after stopping hosting my “The Café Gallery” open mic and just before I moved from Chicago). Since living in Austin, Texan musician (with roots in Chicago) Ron Kewin even converted this poem into a song, but I just noticed that this poem has never appeared in any Janet Kuypers books from Scars... but it *is* in the cc&d “Farewell Chicago” chapbook, free from Scars Publications...http://scars.tv/pdf/2015/20150814Farewell_Chicago.pdf |

I brought this huge bag filled with plastic bags to the grocery store today to recycle the plastic bags, but brought this big bag home with me for future bag recycling. I didn’t realize I’d need such a large bag to collect so much recyclable trash on my walk home — and I think that this bag was heavier than my grocery bag by the time I got home.

Life was simpler when the Gudenteit Hefeweizen at Mickey Finn’s Brewery was only a 5 mile walk away down Milwaukee Avenue (on flat land). I may have pondered the loss 12 years ago today, but I’m glad I picked up a few 6-packs while I was in town so I can enjoy them later this football season (since that was where I’d go to watch the Bears).

13 years ago today, I shared a Neil deGrasse Tyson (@neiltyson) tweet about how in 5 billion years the sun will eventually turn into a red giant with a sizer that will just about touch Earth’s orbit (leading to the eventual total destruction of Earth). It was a funny ending for the tweet, but what I didn’t mention in this post is that I wrote the poem “Death” about this news in a child’s science book, made the child so fearful of the death of their planet that they had to hide that one book, so they wouldn’t be reminded of death, even far in the future.The poem “Death” has been in the Scars Publications books “Rising to the Surface”, “It All Comes Down”, “finally, literature for the snotty and elite (v1)”, “Janet and Jean Together”, “Stabity Stabity Stab Stab Stab”, & “Chapter 48 (v2)”, (in addition to the no-longer-in-print books “The Window” & “Oeuvre”) — and based on the book “Oeuvre”, it is also in the Janet Kuypers book “S&M”. https://www.lulu.com/.../paperback/product-1ggpgr9.html... |

I just saw the Illini win yesterday, wore my shirt yesterday and someone *from* Champaign even came to me to talk about the college, and today I see this memory from 4 years ago today where I wrote a Twitter-length Periodic Table poem “Promethium: hail to the orange, hail to the blue” (about how Promethium was almost named after my college and state).

Janet Kuypers is at Spirit Halloween. 20250927 
So after the fighting Illini won their football game today (like my shirt says, hail to the orange), I thought I’d go to the halloween store, because that would be a good place to get my black lipstick, and I discover that they have a spooky train display in the middle of the shop. As soon as I walk in, I think that it looks just like Chicago’s L train, except the handrails are a little higher and the maps aren’t over the doorways, but by the conductor station. But like the L, at least it comes equipped with a bum sleeping on one of the seats.

This YouTube video I shared with you 9 & 10 years ago today shows how I loved the chance to share poetry and prose at the Roots Room in Chicago on 9/17/15 at Story Teller Night. I share this now because the journal entry I read there, “King of the Universe”, appears not only in the Scars Publications books “Chapter 38 v1”, “A Wake-Up Call From Tradition”, “finally, literature for the snotty and elite (v1)”, “Janet Kuypers: Enriched”, “Fusion”, & “Burn Through Me”, but also in the 1-year show collection “She’s an Open Book”.https://www.amazon.com/dp/1456356291/ |

I had my own bag for picking up groceries when I walked home from the grocery store this morning; it’s a good thing that I found a plastic bag and eventually, a larger HEB grocery bag for picking up all the recyclable trash I found on my walk home. The HEB bag that I found says on it, “Help conserve and protect Texas by reusing this bag.” Well, i found this bag on the side of the road and I’m using it to collect recyclable trash, so I think I’m doing more than most people are around here for trying to protect the environment.Whenever I’m around people and I’m doing this, I always jokingly say I’m a difference maker. (I only hope that’s true.) |

Don’t get in my way, because this is my last day of drinking for a while, and the Bears just won against the Cowboys, and I’m in Texas. (Every time John asks me what I want for dinner, I tell him mozzarella sticks, and so today I happen to get them in a fun grid when we had dinner tonight...)

I should have worn my Laver Cup t-shirt I made for when we saw it in Chicago 7 years ago, but I wore my Illini shirt yesterday and planned to wear a Bears shirt today (since we’re playing the Cowboys and it’s on TV here in Texas today too)... It *was* great to see it live in Chicago then, and I was great watching Team World sprint into the lead after midnight last night (for us people not living on the west coast)...

This was a phenomenal performance 11 years ago today, to sing my MFV song “What We Need In Life” (with John on guitar), interspersed with my poem “Fantastic Car Crash”. Even though the CD single “What We Need In Life” was released 2 years before this show, this song is still a great way to honor MFV guitarist & friend Warren Peterson, and I still wear my Beast Women t-shirt out to this day.

These posts from 1 year ago today (posted also on Twitter, Instagram, and Tumblr too) for the “2024 Poetry Bomb” make me realize the value of these readings, like last year’s readings at the grain tower of the now-closed-down Circle Brewing Company (that tower is gone now too), because there’s always value in reading poetry at different locations for these reading, when you don’t know how long places will last. Every year, I’ve read in different places around the country for the annual Poetry Bomb, so it’s perfect that this poetry is about different locations in the CyberWit 2024 Janet Kuypers poetry book “The Universe is in Your Hands”.https://www.amazon.com/dp/9363544559 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D9TMDCXK https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D99R7GX8 |

This poem has appeared in a few Scars Publications books, including “Evolution”, “Twitterati”, & “Pulled the Trigger”, but it originally appeared in the post-accident poignant poetry book “(recovery)” and the recently-price-dropped poetry collection book “Partial Nudity” as well.https://www.amazon.com/dp/1891470892 https://www.lulu.com/.../paperback/product-1e7k6kd9.html... |

Before the elements all had names, I wrote poems for every element of the Periodic Table, and they are now in the Janet Kuypers book “The Periodic Table of Poetry” from Scars Publications. Once $11.18 for elements 1-118 before Amazon adjusted their pricing, it’s STILL a great deal.https://www.amazon.com/dp/1891470914/ http://scars.tv/periodic.../Periodic_Table_of_Poetry_book.htm |

As I was writing my Periodic Table poems, many of my Chicago poetry features from 2012-2014 were Periodic Table poetry features, like my “Visionaries Behind the Stars” feature in Chicago on 9/12/14 at “Poetry ‘Love Letter’”. It was fun to read poems for elements higher up in the Periodic Table, and in the YouTube video I shared 9 & 11 (& reminisced about 3) years ago today for my Periodic Table poem “Berkelium”, I even mention and sing part of the song “A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square”, which was my wedding song with John, which is why you see us dancing to our wedding song in this video. The poems in this feature were released in the free “Visionaries Behind the Stars” chapbook, and I’m glad I took on the Periodic Table Poetry challenge, and that all of the Periodic Table poems are now in the Scars Pub. book “The Periodic Table of Poetry”.https://www.amazon.com/dp/1891470914/ |

I wrote a number of these poems for my “Erasure Poems” feature (that was also released in a “Erasure Poems” chapbook). This show (with other shows after moving from Chicago) is also in one of the first Janet Kuypers books from Scars Publications, “(pheromemes) 2015-2017 show poems” with shows from Austin, TX. I enjoyed performing the feature with my erasure poems... When the opportunity presented itself, it was great to read my poem “erasure poem: the Meaning of Art” at the Art Institute courtyard in Chicago in this 8/24/17 YouTube video (threshold filter) that I posted 8 years ago today.http://scars.tv/pdf/2017/20170401Erasure_Poems.pdf https://www.amazon.com/dp/1548186384 |

At my “the Café Gallery” poetry open mic I hosted for years in Chicago (btw, it was fun being back on a Friday night this year for the “Bonus Poetry Open Mic at The Gallery Cabaret with feature Janet Kuypers” 8/22/25 too), I read poetry about international subjects (like this YouTube video of me reading my poem “Moros y Christianos” on 8/27/14 that I shared both 9/3/16 and 9/3/14). I know I had poetry about all of the world in the CyberWit 2024 Janet Kuypers poetry book “The Universe is in Your Hands”, but it is also cool to see this poem appearing in Scars Publications books, like the Performance art collection book “Chapter 38 v2”, the mini-book “Give me the News”, and the worldly collection book “Post-Apocalyptic”.Chapter 38 v2: http://www.lulu.com/.../paperback/product-11777972.html Give me the News: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1499779275/ Post-Apocalyptic: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1481176609/ |

I was (pleasantly) stunned with all of the interview questions I received when I was on WZRD 88.3 FM Chicago radio on 8/23/25 (thank you again, Cathleen, for the opportunity to share my thoughts — and poetry — on the Chicago airwaves this year). I am always honored when I am on WZRD Radio — like I was on WZRD radio 8/28/11 with YouTube videos like this one when I read my poem “An Outline to the Apex of Rites of Passage”, that I shared both 15 & 9 years ago today. This poem first appeared in the Janet Kuypers book “Contents Under Pressure”, but also in other Scars Publications books, like “It All Comes Down”, “the Kuypers Edition: Blister and Burn”, “A Wake-Up Call From Tradition”, “finally, literature for the snotty and elite v1”, “Evolution”, & “Every Event of the Year (Volume One: January-June)”. This poem also appears in the Scars Publications “boss lady’s” 328-page vol. 4 cc&d collection book “Pulled the Trigger”.https://www.amazon.com/dp/1456320785/ |

This is a note to all my “Poetic License” open mic regulars...Because last month’s open mic was on the 2nd Sunday, we discussed the idea of making September’s “Poetic License” open mic the 2nd Sunday, to avoid it happening during the Labor Day weekend. But THIS year, Labor Day is on Monday 1 Sep, which means the 1st Sunday of the month is NOT Labor Day Day weekend, but September 7th. Because of this, we are going to keep the “Poetic License” open mic on the 1st. Sunday of the month, and on Sunday, 31 Aug, I will create a Facebook event page for the First Sunday “Poetic License” open mic on Sunday, September 7th (9/7/25). |

Before the elements all had names, I wrote poems for every element of the Periodic Table, and they are now in the Janet Kuypers book “The Periodic Table of Poetry” from Scars Publications. Once $11.18 for elements 1-118 before Amazon adjusted their pricing, it’s STILL a great deal.https://www.amazon.com/dp/1891470914/ http://scars.tv/periodic.../Periodic_Table_of_Poetry_book.htm |

It was fun being at Laschet’s this past week, and it was fun hosting my “Poetic License” here and thanking everyone (like I did 2 years ago today). In this post, it was also fun sharing poetry from the Scars Publications books “The Periodic Table of Poetry” and “Twitter Verse Periodic Table Poetry”.

chWe may have taken photos at Lake Michigan this year, but (like eight years ago today) we did not take a picture with the skyline behind us. It was wonderful to be in town this past week ̵ and it was wonderful to almost have fall like weather in Chicago for our visit.g

I just got a notice that someone thought my “Bonus Poetry Open Mic at The Gallery Cabaret with feature Janet Kuypers” in Chicago was last night (Sat. night) and not Friday night, on 8/22/25 — oops, it’s a shame we didn’t meet up. I know this bonus week is tough to align with Chicagoan’s schedules, and I understand if we miss out on seeing each other. I am grateful to everyone who *did* make it to TGC Friday night, and I appreciate all the people I missed out on who couldn’t make it too.

So, people that were here were hawking the concept of the “national day of adventure”, which is the second Friday of October (this year 10/10/25) where you take the day off and do something adventurous. So I guess on that day, I’ll have to do something adventurous with poetry. You know, kind of like Poetry Bomb to the extreme... (Oh, since John isn’t mentioning the beer, I should say that my runemaster barrel aged imperial stout is something that he is getting a 2-pack of to bring a back home — and we get it 2-pack for free.)

Wade poems is always relevant (like in this post from 3 years ago today), even in areas where others may not necessarily agree with the views (of protecting women’s rights) — this is why I am also glad that in each of my features this weekend in Chicago I will read material from the book “Testament”Enjoy the Janet Kuypers book “Testament” from CyberWit. In 4 parts, part 1 (and over half the book) is pro-women’s-rights post-Roe v. Wade overturning poems. Part 2 deals with the touchy subject of suicide, closing with parts 3 and 4, which reflect the 1st book of the Old Testament & the last book in the New Testament — & is available on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/939522486X/ http://www.janetkuypers.com/Testament/ |

We are away from our offices right now. And cannot edit the image. But the image lists the wrong date for the show. The show is today, Friday, 8/22, like the Facebook event page shows (not 8/20, which was the date of the Janet Kuypers Tangible Books feature).

We had to stop by Revolution for a beer. Its too bad we can have a few here but...The Chocolate Covered Strawberry Jacket is, “double plus good”, as Janet would say. At 11.7% abv, maybe it’s good we’re not here for more than one. I’d love to bring some back to Austin to share with the RRHG but they won’t put it in cans to go... aargh! |

I think it has been half a decade since I have found this beer in bottles for sale in a bar. I am so glad the waitstaff didn’t care about having to get the extra yeast off of the bottom so I could enjoy pouring these beers and keeping the bottles myself..

We just passed this sign and I saw this post from two years ago today. Seeing other posts from two years ago today where we went to Taco John’s, I raised the pitch of my voice, and I asked half expectedly, if we’d be going to Taco John’s... John said no (sniff) because we’re taking a different route. Then he suggested that I do a search for Taco John’s on this route, so I guess that’s the next order of business..

The shirt I wore at TGC last year is a custom t-shirt of a Chicago map where the only all-capped street names listed are the streets I’ve lived on, and all the additional listings on my map shirt are poetry opened mics I have featured at and frequented in Chicago. I brought this shirt this year, but I won’t wear it for my feature night. I am looking forward to the “Bonus Poetry Open Mic at The Gallery Cabaret with feature Janet Kuypers” on 8/22/25 from 6:0-8:30 only, and I hope you can make it there too!https://www.facebook.com/events/1283018796520033 |

People were talking with me about the recent eclipse because of my eclipse shirt I was wearing tonight, and it was nice to get a compliment on my sequined pants while I was out again tonight, too (I mentioned this instead of talking about a number of people liking my poetry tonight). Oh yeah — people were commenting on the coolness of John’s “uke, I’m your father” t-shirt too.

Janet Kuypers shared a memory. 
I’m glad I took these pics 2 years ago today after someone in Chicago painted Lincoln’s head on old parking meter posts on north Lincoln Ave. (where my open mic at the Café was for years). Now that the building where my open mic started is torn down, and last year when I checked & saw that Lincoln’s head on old parking meter posts were all removed. Did anyone salvage any of them for resale in Chicago? Otherwise, I’m seriously tempted to buy an old parking meter to replicate this Lincoln painting.

I wanted to share this memory from 10 years ago yesterday, but with so much work to do, this fell through the cracks... Yhis weekend we went to Prost and I wore my Atlas Shrugged Rearden Metal bracelet — a woman we were talking to actually asked me if it was from Atlas Shrugged. I have never met someone who SAW all 3 of the Atlas Shrugged movies when we were out like this, and it was great talking to her — and it was great making Randian comments with her while we out & talking recently. (I just checked and the bracelet is no longer for sale, so I’m glad I wear it out and to all of my Chicago features now too.)https://www.facebook.com/janetkuypers/posts/10206583365036846 |

Janet looks like she has a drinking problem with all the bottles and cans in front of her but she is just collecting recyclables to take home. It’s scary how everyone knows Janet recycles and keeps dropping off their cans and bottles with her.

My Chicago features incorporated projected art, and thanks to Vito/Carl J Vinci for giving me the feature space for my show “Disenfranchised Doggerel” at Mercury Café 7/31/09 in Chicago. Although I’m traveling from Texas for features now and cannot set up art projections, I am really looking forward to my retrospective poetry book “Tangible Books Bonus poetry event 8/20/25 with Janet Kuypers feature”.Speaking of poetry and books, since this YouTube video from camera #1 of my poem “My Blood” (with my photo of the Vatican on display) that I shared 9 years ago today, this poem has been in several books, including “Chapter 38 v3”, “Evolution”, “the Cana-Dixie Chi-town Union”, & “Pulled the Trigger”, but for a small to-go mini-book, it is also in the Scars Publications poetry book “Tweet”. |

John and I went to The Original Plush Horse Ice Cream parlour last year when I had their new-since-I-worked-there “Chicago Pot Hole” flavor — which is to die for. I saw this post from 10 years ago today, which made me check out the Plush Horse website to make sure they still had that flavor (so I could make sure I splurge when I visit there).John lost gallons of his Walking Seed Brewing “hoppy hoppy joy joy” beer from a keg tap handle malfunction yesterday (which means we can’t gift a 6-pack to his family when we visit, which was planned), he wanted to drown his sorrows with ice cream, but didn’t. Maybe he can save his splurging for the Plush Horse too. |

I was honored to take over hosting for the “Poetry Plus open mic 7/22/16” while it was in transition to finding a new location for the open mic — & it’s cool that this YouTube video of my poem “Looking For A Worthy Adversary” that I shared from there 9 years ago today is a poem that is also on the show, chapbook, & book “Uncorrect”.

I was honored to take over hosting for the Poetry Plus open mic 7/22/16 while it was in transition to finding a new location for the open mic.

Janet Kuypers’ Periodic Table Poetry was written for, chosen for, and performed in the Chicago show “Mysticism vs. Science” at The Gallery Cabaret on 7/24/13.

Janet Kuypers 20250727 
Seeing videos from my Chicago Periodic Table of Poetry feature (at TGC) “Mysticism vs. Science”, I think it’s appropriate that I wore a pink wig while I read my poetry. But this YouTube video post shared 7/27/16 & 7/27/13 of me reading my poem “Antimony” is cool, not only because Walking Seed Brewing made the best Sauvignon Blanc wine titled ‘Antimony’ (and right now brewing is starting today for the Zweiter Lauf hefeweissbeir so that it is ready by football season), but also because the poem “Antimony” appears in the book “The Periodic Table of Poetry”.https://www.amazon.com/dp/1891470914/ |

Janet Kuypers shared a memory. 20250721 
It is cool to hype a book that you shared on past Facebook posts, like this post from 6 years ago today, when I shared one of the first poems in this book, “Hydrogen: One Against One”.Janet Kuypers’ Twitter-length Periodic Table poems for every element in the Periodic Table, + bonus isotope & select compound poems, appear (in a larger typeface, and with images) in the Scars Publications poetry book “Twitter Verse Periodic Table Poetry”, now on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09S63PTDC https://scars.tv/Twitter_Verse_Periodic_Table_Poetry/ |

I was honored when I got the chance to perform in studio my poetry to video of my “drawing” of my poetry, like this studio YouTube video of me reading my poem “Death Takes Many Forms” in Vicci’s Chicago studio 7/20/14 I this take 2 that shared 9 years ago today. Because this poem continually affects so many people I have shared it with over the years, I plan to read it in Chicago features this August, and I am pleased that it has also appeared in the CD with music from the HA! Man of South Africa that also appeared in the book “Burn Through Me”.

I shared 30+ poem videos from my poetry feature “Living in a Big World” in 2016. I only had an Archive video of the show (because back then, I couldn’t upload long videos to YouTube). In 2019, I uploaded the full show videos to YouTube, but I didn’t share them with the world, so this is long overdue.

Nine years ago today, I shared this 7/20/10 YouTube video of my poem “A Woman Talking About my Rapist Friend” from the Janet Kuypers cc&d collection book “Chapter 38 v2” at my “the Café” open mic in Chicago. I *may* have read this poem from that book, and it may also appear on the books “Chapter 38 v3”, “the Kuypers Edition: Blister and Burn”, “Taking Poetry to the Streets”, “Pulled the Trigger”, “Fusion” (the book & CD set), “Burn Through Me”, “Rape, Sexism, Life & Death”, & “Shattering the Glass Ceiling”, but it actually started in the spiral-bound Scars Publications book “(woman.)”.

Facebook shared with me so many videos I shared from my “Living in a Big World” show, and all 30 videos had hundreds to 1,500 hits. In this show, music by artist friends around the world was played with my readings. I sat in a giant “drawing” of a chair, and I used a giant remote to start images from around the globe on a “drawing” of a TV projected onto the wall. Facebook shared with me ~20 of those videos, but not the video that had over 78,000 views (that’s right seventy-eight thousand, all for 1:54 of poetry), so let me share it across social media here...

Perhaps it was after seeing Laurie Anderson do this in a Chicago show that I got this mini-cam (but simultaneously displaying it during the show like she did didn’t work with that camera)... But I *did* try to be all cutting edge when I performed poetry and music during my “Celebrating with Song” feature/chapbook during the Café open mic I hosted on 7/12/11. I first shared it 7/19/11, but I also shared it 9 years ago today, when I released this YouTube video from the lip camera of the Janet Kuypers poem “Update 2011 on the Man who Loved me” — a poem also in the Scars book “Post-Apocalyptic”.

I have been compiling poetry over the years for multiple features in Chicago (with shows 8/20-24), and 1 piece I planned on doing at Tangible Book, The Gallery Cabaret, & even an edited version of it in Hot Springs, Arkansas for Wednesday Night Poetry (before Chicago) is “Death Takes Many Forms” — then I see this post from 9 years ago today when I read this in Austin. Because of this poem’s profound effect on audiences over the years, it makes sense that it has been in so many books, like some I’ve mentioned here before, including “In Depth”, “Chapter 38 v1”, “finally, literature for the snotty and elite (v1)”, “Dark Matter: the Mind of Janet Kuypers”, “Fusion”, “Burn Through Me”, and “Prominent Tongue”, but some books from Scars I *haven’t* mentioned here also contain this poem, like “Stabity Stabity Stab Stab Stab” and “po•em”.

I see lots of mustang, grapes started to grow in my vineyard. Now I’ll just have to confer with John to see what is the best day to start picking them.

I felt king of ritualistic when I was delicately removing the tape from applying the glow and the dark paint to my Chicago skyline door collage. You probably can’t tell, but I like that I made a point to add the “light” around the outside edge of the diamond of the Smurfit building.

Janet Kuypers shared a memory. 20250714 
I told John that I thought I saw grapes growing this year (that we’ll have to pick for making mustang grapes for our eventual ‘Moonlit Mustang Mead’), but he said he didn’t see any. Then I saw this post from 1 year ago today, and it reminds me to check to see if there are any grapes to freeze until we make grapes for our first Mead.

Scars Publications can rock the literary world with music too... It may have been too windy on the beach during the Janet Kuypers live 7/11/10 Chicago “Death ‘n’ Rebirth” feature for *this* track to make the cut, but there are many tracks tracks of “What We Need In Life” music released as a CD-single of “What We Need In Life”!

Before I even joined Facebook, I performed in the live show (that’s also in a chapbook) “Death ‘n’ Rebirth” on the anniversary of a near-fatal car accident, so I shared it 9 years ago today (after moving away from Chicago), including this YouTube video of me singing the Janet Kuypers/Mom’s Favorite Vase song “What We Need In Life” with John on guitar at Beach Poets.

In the dark, without a flash, I just took a photo toward the interior of my water closet, and although you can’t really see the buildings (how could you in the dark?)... but you could see the lights from the Surfit building, and the lights from the John Hancock building’s antennae.

I left the tape around the light top of the Smurfit building so that I could add more glow in the dark paint — but then I realized then if I was doing this, I should probably be adding this paint to the antenna of the John Hancock building too.

After leaving the chandelier light on in my water closet bathroom, which is a really strong LED light, I could see very faintly in the dark, the lights from my depiction of the Smurfit building on my wall art. (btw, this pic is do much sharper/brighter than it is in real life, but it’s really working out.)

Janet Kuypers shared a memory — with Warren Peterson. 20250712 
Seeing Warren Peterson playing that black acoustic guitar at my wedding makes me nostalgic for the years that guitar was played when we did shows in Chicago as the band “Mom’s Favorite Vase”, the same guitar I borrowed to learn to play the guitar back in ‘98... Happy Birthday, Warren - you are always in our hearts.

Janet Kuypers 20250712 
In order for me to have my Chicago building night collage door complete, I wanted to have lights around the top of the Smurfit building. I just got the glow in the dark paint, but I had to section off exactly where the lights will appear if this paint will look like the lights when it gets dark.

I am too anxious to see what this looks like when I remove the tape & it dries.

I am concerned about my current “crop” in my growing potato “harvest” in my Jay’s potato chip bag. You see, I had eyes/sprouts from both sweet potatoes and baking potatoes in there, but the sweet potato growth was so strong that I think they just bullied and killed off the regular potatoe sprouts. And I think the barometric pressure has been so strange due to the floods in this state that there have been times when my crop has been drowning in water — even though I never overwatered it. I keep mothering this Jay’s potato chip bag growth, but I have no idea if-and-what potatoes might end up turning out of this batch.

Seeing my poetry reading in Georgetown from 7 years ago today makes me smile — here I read poetry from the cc&d performance art poetry collection book “Chapter 38 v2” (like I did yesterday during my “Poetic License 7/6/25 Global Open Mic” too)... Versions of two of these poem read here *also* appear in the most recent CyberWit Janet Kuypers globally-focused poetry book “The Universe is in Your Hands”.

It gets difficult when performance art venues disappear (esp. post-COVID), like losing Expressions at the Bahá’í Faith Center (or TOO MANY Chicago open mics). I can’t bring equipment with me across the country, but I *am* looking forward to my upcoming Chicago features, with a bonus feature 8/20/24, Wednesday 5:00-7:00, CST at Tangible Books, a bonus The Gallery Cabaret night Friday, 8/22/23 6:00-8:30 P.M.

I saw a ƒacebook post of mine from a year ago yesterday about my growing “vineyard” and our plan to use the Mustang grapes to add to a merlot last year. All of the Mustang grapes we picked last year went bad, and we couldn’t use them for our “Blood Moon Merlot”. Since John wanted to make a mead, we deduced that we could use these Mustang grapes and make them into raisins to add to the 2025 Mead, which I am so looking forward to trying.

This poetry feature was shared in 2011, then shared in 2016 (but the links were not saved), so this is SO worth sharing again across social media. I had a scheduled Beach Poets Chicago feature on July 3rd 2011, but the Reader newspaper listed the date as June 29th — so we did an “IPB: Impromptu Poetry on the Beach” feature on a Wednesday afternoon (thank you to Peter Bartels for the accompanying guitar) of different poetry from my original feature.

We kept this Chicago building medley door design up for ~ a week to see if all of the wood pieces would stay on the door. The top of one section of the Stars tower was loose and the top of another section of the Sears tower fell off, so we’re gluing them down again and using weights to make sure the wood will stay in place before we stain it.
