Sprinter Runs the Marathon with Poet Dave Morrison

Poet Dave Morrison will read from and discuss his 18th book of poems, Sprinter Runs the Marathon – Poems For Those Who Think Differently (Rain Crow Press 2025). In this collection of poems written between 2006 and 2024, Morrison explores, accepts and celebrates a lifetime of “thinking differently.”

Hailed as “a hearty weed in the garden of American poetry” (Dispatch Magazine) Dave Morrison’s poems have been published in literary magazines and anthologies, and featured on Writer’s Almanac, Take Heart, and Poems from Here. Morrison has published eighteen books of poetry, including two other themed collections, Clubland (poems about rock & roll bars in verse and meter, Fighting Cock Press 2011) and Cancer Poems (JukeBooks 2015).

This program will take place in the Reading Room.
