2015 marked the 50th anniversary of Broadside Press.\u00a0 Those 50 years represent several generations of poets who have shared Dudley Randall\u2019s vision of the written word as a living art form intimately connected to community and to self-determination.<\/p>\n

One poet from this up-and-coming generation, Deonte Osayande. is a graduate of Detroit Mercy.\u00a0 Detroit Mercy\u2019s library, in honor of Dudley Randall\u2019s several decades of work there, has been designated as one of the rare \u201cNational Literary Landmarks,\u201d\u00a0 along with other literary giants including William Faulkner, Mark Twain, Emily Dickenson and Ernest Hemingway.\u00a0 Deonte Osayande is a graduate of Detroit Mercy. He won awards in Dudley Randall Poetry Competitions and has read his work at numerous Broadside Press-sponsored events.<\/p>\n

Osayande\u2019s poetry has appeared in over a dozen publications. He is a powerful performance poet who teaches creative writing to inner city youth with the InsideOut Detroit Literary Arts Project. I am indebted to Professor Rosemary Weatherston, Director, Dudley Randall Center for Print Culture, for introducing me to Mr. Osayande.\u00a0\u00a0 You can see Osayande perform \u201cMasks\u201d by clicking on the following link: http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ieTwvPEtlqs<\/a><\/p>\n

Daylight saving time on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Have a blest weekend,<\/p>\n
