I am not a slam poet.

I’ve been planning to write this essay for months now. I needed to wait. To unclench my teeth and unfold my yellow/black fists and step away. I had to breathe, so I could form my fingers into the shape of a writer and hold my pen steady when I finally decided to fire back.

The text I will make reference to makes me want to write my first “slam” poem since 1996 and beat the ideas of this book down in 3 minutes or less. But, I gave up battling with art so long ago. Battling, which is from the “dozens,” which was put on the map by Emcees, not Slam Poetry, as this book asserts, so this space on the page is where I will challenge the text.
