“Beyond what we See”
a impromptu 8 minute poetry reading live at the Café Gallery

    Below are videos from a April 10th 2013 (4/10/13, or 20130310) evening of “mini-features” at the Café Gallery in Chicago, which started with a 13 minute feature of Janet Kuypers reading brand-new, never-before-read Periodic Table poems.

    The night ended with Kuypers reading poetry from different authors from the the Scars Publications spiral-bound After the Apocalypse 2013 date book.

    Music from both Kuypers readings was a selection from 2011 Hotel music from the HA!Man of South Africa, with “All Fall Down”.
