The Slamming Bricks Anthology 2nd Edition features poetry from fifteen LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and AAPI poets ranging from debut artists to award-winning slam poets. It includes over 60 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 2022 event marks the fourth year of the poetry slam and the anthology features poetry by six of the slam poets competing in 2022. The anthology was made possible due to the financial support of the Western Colorado Writers' Forum, the Western Colorado Community Foundation, and the Grand Junction Commission on Arts and Culture.
