I don't think the poem's bad, though I stand by my stonewall pun statement.
I also think Rita Dove has some good poems out there, to be clear.
On the present moment, I don't know I've read one that I this exception (both because there's no way I can read all the poems out there, and the moment's so current and raw), but there are some by Natasha Trethewey, Tiana Clark, and Terrance Hayes out there about racism in America that I think are fantastic.
