Mercury Cafe

poetry readings from the feature on February 16th, 2008

    Because Kuypers has recently been a feature at Mercury Cafe (11/30/07, in a show called the Messenger), she is reading a 10 minute poetry set at the Mercury Cafe two year anniversary Mega poetry celebration on Saturday, Feb. 16th from 1:00 P.M. through 8:00 P.M. at Mercury Cafe (1505 West Chicago Avenue, Chicago). Kuypers’ performance is scheduled for 5:30, closer to the culmination of this poetry celebration at Mercury Cafe, which contained writing from the 1980, the 1990s and the 2000s.

    Kuypers also released a chapbook of all of the slated poems she would read for in this feature, called 1989-2007 Mega Poetry.
