The Honey Badgers Don't Give a B**k Tour

Four Asian-American Poets. Six Cities. One car.

One tour.

Embracing fearlessness, tenacity, and entrepreneurship – all tenets of the totem animal, the toothsome beast that launched a media frenzy – poets Michelle Chan Brown,Cathy Linh Che, Eugenia Leigh and Sally Wen Mao speed through the Mid-Atlantic/South/Midwest to read from acclaimed first books. From Vietnam to Belgrade, pop culture to nature, interrogations of the body and yes, the soul, by turns brash, baroque, lush and lissome, these four exemplify the ferocity of the new American poetics.

Poetry is Dangerous.
