Reading with Shaun McMichael, Author of Whistle Punk Falls
Join author Shaun Anthony McMichael for a reading from his new book Whistle Punk Falls “Whistle Punk Falls is about the bonds that stretch, break, and rebuild us,” McMichael says. “It’s about the ways people survive when the system fails—and the beauty that can still rise from ruin.”

His novel reflects lived experiences at the intersection of race, class, masculinity, and mental health, offering readers both a mirror and a reckoning.
