Live at “Trunk Fest” in Evanston IL 05/28/11:
My Soul in the Trunk of my Car

    Janet Kuypers was thrilled to be the feature on May 28th at Trunk Fest...
    People could listen from the street (or walk down the sidewalk, or hang out on the lawn or the parking lot) during this Evanston mini-feature May 28th at Trunk Fest, where Kuypers had expanded her new set of poems (related to cars, since we were reading to driving cars on Oakton in Evanston, and 1 poem about the end of May and the approaching anniversary of D-Day on this Memorial Day weekend) to perform in “My Soul in the back of my car (part 2)”, where artists bring books for sale literally in the trunks of their cars.
    Fearing rain, they started with Kuypers doing more than her original set of poems (which was intended to be only a 10 minute feature, but she pulled the stops when starting with her emotional well-known poems “the Burning” and “Death Takes Many Forms”). Kuypers was even called back when a new microphone was brought in for one more poem, so she ended her performance day with “I’m Not Sick, But I’m Not Well”.     Follow the links below to see or hear poetry from this live Evanston IL show, or even download the chapbook!
