a Periodic Prep
for Radio Poetry

    WZRD Radio (88.3 FM), with a D.J. Cathleen Schandelmeier-Bartels, had Janet Kuypers reading never-before-performed poetry from her Periodic Table of Poetry series (which Kuypers was scheduled to read in the first Poetry Saloon at Noon).

    With other poets scheduled to perform at this REOPENING of WZRD radio who could not make it, Kuypers read not only her poetry for the should (with 2011 Hotel music “the Ice is Melting” from the HA!Man of South Africa n the background), but she also read (from memory) “Death Takes Many Forms”, as well as the first poem she ever wrote, “Under the Sea”, and her very environmentally-friendly poem “Everything was Alive and Dying”.
