Slamming Bricks: An Anthology

The Slamming Bricks Anthology features poetry from nineteen LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and AAPI poets across the world ranging from debut artists to award-winning slam poets. It includes over 80 pages of beautiful prose and meaningful expressions of liberation and resistance. The Slamming Bricks Anthology grew from the annual poetry slam competition, Slamming Bricks: A Riot on 1st Street, based in Grand Junction, Colorado that LGBTQ+ slam poet Caleb Ferganchick started in 2019. The 2021 event marks the third year of the poetry slam and the anthology features poetry by eight of the slam poets competing in 2021. The anthology was made possible due to the financial support of the Western Colorado Writers' Forum and Colorado Arts in Society.



All proceeds go to the Western Colorado Writers' Forum to help fund future Slamming Bricks poetry slam competitions.
