BOOKISH: Celebs on bikes, Easter tales and a literary safari

Literary Safari

Rumor has it that when Patrick Lucy and Jason Zuzga found out they'd be reading together at the Penn Book Center, they started asking the store about its policy on animals—how many they're allowed to bring and what kind. The folks at the bookstore probably didn't realize these poets would take tonight's Safari theme quite so literally. Lucy, whose day job is as a partner in a local ad agency, and Zuzga, a doctoral student at Penn, are both known for writing poetry about the natural world, but only the brave and eager who attend tonight's reading will uncover exactly what the two had in mind with a safari. A jeep ride through the Serengeti is about as far from life in Philadelphia as we can imagine, something that only a poet can fully conjur from the confines of a bookstore.

2 p.m., free, Penn Book Center, 130 S. 34th St, pennbookcenter.com.
