Abstract
This essay responds to Ragan Fox's position as a “gay slam poet” from the perspective of a queer feminist of color. Suggesting that Fox's poetry reflects a “poetic polemic” form that has much potential for subversion, I also highlight the gendered, raced and classed erasures in Fox's work that may work against the visions for social justice, particularly for LGBT people, inherent in Fox's work as “gay slam poet.”
