To combat the image of poets as sedentary word-hermits, these writers -- Ray Hsu, Kim Fu, Kevin Spenst and Andrea Bennett -- are going to jog through 125 different reading venues in one day on April 21st. This athletic aesthetics will combine some of the best of their poetry with a unique list of venues such as coffee shops, book stores, and pizza joints. The day will end with a longer reading of their work at the VPL.
