The Cafe
Below are mp3 files and videos from a September 9, 2008 evening of poetry before the performance art show Seeing a Psychiatrist...

All of these poems were originally written in the fall of 1998, just after the author was in a near fatal car accident. They were later converted to prose and placed in a book of tow authors: Eric Bonholtzer and Janet Kuypers, called Duality. This book was given away to all people who attended this performance art show, because in the third part of the show, the topic of having writing in books was discussed in the show.
