​Sam Sax is an educator and writer currently based in Brooklyn, NY.  Sax primarily considers himself a writer—rather than a performer, poet, or performance poet—and he is a particularly prolific one: He is the author of 4 chapbooks (All the Rage, Straight, sad boy/detective, and A Guide to Undressing Your Monsters) and 2 full-length collections (madness and Bury It, which will be published in 2018); has been published on Buzzfeed, in The New York Times, and in various poetry journals; and has received fellowships from Lambda Literary, The MacDowell Colony, & the National Endowment for the Arts. Despite his rejection of the performer label, he has also found success in the performance poetry world, earning the title of two-time Bay Area Grand Slam Champion and booking features and shows both as an individual and as a member of the poetry collective Sad Boy Supper Club. Currently, he is performing mainly in the NYC area and serving as the poetry editor of BOOAT Press.
