Her debut collection of poems, Good Dress, was selected as a 2025 Michigan Notable Title.

About Good Dress:
Following the tradition of Nikky Finney, Krista Franklin, and Morgan Parker, Brittany Rogers's Good Dress documents the beauty and audacity of Black Detroit, Black womanhood, community, class, luxury, materialism, and matrilineage. A nontraditional coming of age, this collection witnesses a speaker coming into her own autonomy and selfhood as a young adult, reflecting on formative experiences. With care and incandescent energy, the poems engage with memory, time, interiority, and community.

This program is presented in partnership with the Library of Michigan Foundation & the MI Humanities Grant.
