Janet Kuypers’ 20+ minute poetry reading in Austin at Recycled Reads 2/5/17     Below are writing links and video links from February 5th 2017 (2/5/17, or 20170205), where Janet Kuypers was performing an unplanned 20+ minute set of poems read in Austin at Recycled Reads.     In this reading she read not only select poems from her first book “Hope chest in the Attic”, but also a few of the poems from her “Exalted Love” show the day before at the Bahá’í Faith Center.     In an encore performance, Janet Kuypers read one poem from her second book, “the Window”, and then, because people were asked to sing, Kuypers sang a song first written in 1925, “Brother, Can You Spare a Dime”.     Below are video links to the live performance of poetry reading at Recycled Reads 2/5/17 at Recycled Reads in Austin.
