SUMMARY:Poet Joanne Godley to launch award-winning collection of poetry at 
 virtual reading
DESCRIPTION:Broadside Lotus Press and the University of Detroit Mercy Press
  will host a virtual reading and conversation with Joanne Godley\, author 
 of How the Black Panthers Fell from the Sky and winner of the 2025 Naomi L
 ong Madgett Poetry Award.\n\nThe reading will take place on Wednesday\, Ma
 rch 25\, from 6-7:30 p.m. Please register below to obtain Zoom link.\n\nGo
 dley grew up in Detroit during the city's industrial heyday and amidst the
  activism of the labor unions. Her memoir reflects on her teenage years\, 
 when\, impatient with someday freedom songs and despairing at the horrors 
 of the Vietnam war\, she is swept up by the daring promise of those milita
 nt “cats” in black leather jackets. The poems remind readers of the ho
 pefulness and exhilaration of Panther Party times as well as provide Godle
 y's mature reflections on the Party’s dismantlement.\n\nHow the Black Pa
 nthers Fell from the Sky is the fourth co-publication of Broadside Lotus P
 ress and UDM Press. It can be purchased at the Detroit Mercy bookstore and
  online through Hatteras printing.\nRegister for poetry reading here.
