the perodic Table of Poetry
Science vs. Mysticism
Periodic Table of Poetry readings
in Janet Kuypers’ 5/10/13 feature
with Buddha309

at Poetry Love Letters in Chicago

Science vs. Mysticism Janet Kuypers chapbook
    In one of Janet Kuypers’ installments of Periodic Table of Poetry poem readings (in her effort to write a poem for every element in the Periodic Table, to later become a book), Janet Kuypers was the feature at Poetry Love Letters in Chicago on May 10th 2013 (5/10/13) with “Science vs. Mysticism”.

    “Kuypers was slated to have a feature on this night, and when she saw that Buddha309 was also slated as a feature that night, , she remembered when she shared a feature with Jason Pettus at Café Aloha, where they read back-and-forth poems... So asking Buddha309 if he was interested in reading back-and-forth poems to share the feature space, Buddha309 even suggested he read poems on Mysticism against Kuypers’ Periodic Table of Poetry poems, thus starting the idea of “Science vs. Mysticism”.

    “Kuypers’ Periodic Table of Poetry poems performed in “Science vs. Mysticism” is available as a free PDF file chapbook (titled “Science vs. Mysticism”, of writings from the Periodic Table portion of the show).

    Event listings for this feature can be found on both the facebook events page (which has links to both of the feature show Canon and Sony cameras videos) as well as the Chicago poetry calendar [dot] org link (which has ALL of Kuypers’ separated video files embedded on the page).

    Interested in photos from this event? Check out the facebook photo album, or see select live images from this poetry feature.
