A group of local poets is hoping that some commuters will be moved by more than the Metro Transit bus they are riding on.

Eighteen poets will attempt to inspire riders during the third annual Poets on Buses, an event designed to help launch the Minneapolis Mosaic festival of arts.

Spoken-word artists will ride buses on major Minneapolis corridors and perform for rush-hour commuters. One of these poets, who calls herself Karma the Oddest Goddess, will perform on routes along Hennepin Ave. She spoke with MPR's Perry Finelli.
