BREAKDOWN

We enter into the personal world of the iconic Micki Grant through her music, unpublished poems, lyrics, written musings on love, politics, America, family, food, historical figures loved and lost, featuring music rarely heard and accented with songs from her award-winning works: Don’t Bother Me, I Can’t Cope, Your Arms Too Short to Box With God, It's So Nice To Be Civilized, and Working.
