A Black, queer poet accustomed to living on the margins of different identities, Sebastian (he/him) is constantly asking what it means to partake in the world and human ecosystems. He processes his existentialism by using words to summarize experiences which reach far beyond them. Raised by Black women, both literally & literarily, his writing is rooted in their many lessons & examples. His work has been published by Tabadul Collective, Beyond Words Magazine, Moonstone Press, Voicemail Poems, Fruitslice, and Carolina Muse. He is a VONA alum as well as a Southern Esesu Endeavor and Abode Press fellow. When he’s not writing, he’s likely listening to Tierra Whack, Tems, or Waxahatchee on loop while walking around barefoot.
