PRETTY LITTLE BRICK features poetry, prose, plays, interviews, coloring pages, short stories and personal essays. It is a limited edition publication!!
We will have copies of the book available for purchase at the launch party and at The Free Black Women's Library space.

This is a literary art project birthed through a Creative Practice Partnership
with The Metropolitan Museum. The Creative Practice Partnership is a collaborative residency program for artists who are socially minded in their practice and implement creative projects in their own neighborhoods across New York City.

Thank you to the Met Staff for their support in the publication of this project.
Extra special thanks to our friends at the Weeksville Heritage Center for hosting us!!
