(recovery)

(recovery) is a poetry collection book of Janet Kuypers poems written in the months after a near fatal car accident (July 11 1998), where Kuypers was stopped in her Saturn at an intersection, where another car, while speeding, pushed her into oncoming traffic, where another car puyshed her car for 108 feet, leaving her unconscious for 11 days. After losing her Chicago home at the same time, she later had to learn to walk and talk and eat. Feeling incredibly deserted and alone, she (while trying to learn to function again) wrote poetry excessively as a means to ler her emotions out. This is a collection of these poems, plus highlights from the performance art show "Death Comes in Threes" (where she talks about the accident and almost losing her life) and later ntes on dealing with the life-altering effects of this car accident.
