Below are video links and poem text links from a June 11th 2018 (6/11/18, or 20180611) poetry performance (accompanied by guitar and piano music from John Yotko, accompanied by train sound throughout the show) of Janet Kuypers’ Austin poetry feature through “Fort to Famous” at Austin’s The Buzz Mill in Austin, TX.
In this show, Janet Kuypers’ decided to tackle the number eleven in many different forms throughout her show, from her first poem she ever wrote that was published when she was eleven, the acquaintance rape counselor poems she wrote 11 years after that, to nearly being killed on July 11th, to having her first show back in Chicago on June 11th, top coping with July 11, 2001. At the end of this show (cut off from video, but in the chapbook), she even read a penguin poem written in the 11th month last year, and ended her show with a poem from poems written 11 years after being happily married to John… in this show, she even included a song they have sung in 11 states.
Poems performed in thisshow include “Under the Sea”, “The Burning”, “Right There, By Your Heart (verses 2 & 6)”, “What We Need in Life”, “Fantastic Car Crash”, “The Things They Did To You (5/8/18 edit)”, “Looking for a Worthy Adversary (an extreme sestina variation)”, “Death is a Dog”, and “September 11, 2001”.
