Sean Avery Medlin
Sean Avery Medlin (he/they) is a gamer and Hip-Hop nerd, whose only wish in this world is to watch an unproblematic, Black sci-fi series. Till then, Medlin teaches as both a Teaching Artist and K-12 educator. Their dream is to create rap, poetry, prose and performance full-time. Their music, literature, and theater all question the limits of Black masculinity, media (mis)representation, and personal narrative.
Medlin’s work has been featured in Phoenix New Times, Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Review of Books, Teen Vogue, Afropunk, Blavity, the 2018-2019 Chicago Hip-Hop Theater Festival, and the 2020 Tucson Poetry Festival. Their Hip-Hop play and album, skinnyblk, along with their EPs I Never Left and ECHOES, are available online at superseanavery.com. 808s & Otherworlds: Memories, Remixes, & Mythologies is Medlin’s debut collection of essays and poetry, published by Two Dollar Radio, available in audio, digital, and print everywhere books are sold in the U.S., the U.K., and Canada.
