Voices from the Block

Voices from the Block

Celebrating 25 years of Black literature!



In 1996, when the Writer's Block was founded, Black writers, members of "the block" began contributing to the legacy of written works that stamped our existence, cradled our culture, and fortified our souls.



The legacy continues with the 25th anniversary edition of Voices from the Block!



In this collection, you will experience poems, short stories, essays, novel starts, and more - all lovingly crafted from the hearts and minds of some of our most prolific members.

Settle in your favorite reading space.

Enter our Block. Embrace the Legacy.
