Live at “Trunk Fest” in Evanston IL 07/24/11:
“Triple Threat”
a sung poem, & writing from her book Close Cover Before Striking

    Janet Kuypers was thrilled to be a feature on the final of 3 live “runk Fest” shows, July 24th (the previous shows in May and June 2011)...
    People could listen from the street (or walk down the sidewalk, or hang out on the lawn or the parking lot) during this Evanston feature July 24th at Trunk Fest, where Kuypers did a feature starting with a new “sung” poem, followed by poems and prose originally in the from the 6" x 9" ISBN# book Close Cover Before Striking (for future audio CD release). Artists brought books for sale — as well as all sorts of artwork in many different forms — literally for sale from the trunks of their cars.
