About For nearly six decades, Brickhouse has championed poetry and prose across genres, making space for small voices, outside voices, and voices locked away. Founded in 1970, Brickhouse has occasionally gained national recognition, but mostly it’s remained quietly essential, a bedrock of Maryland’s literary legacy, a bricks-worth of words at a time.
