| About Sean Conlon |
|
Sean Conlon was raised in an old plantation house in rural Virginia. Believed to be haunted, it had been a hospital during the civil war. As a child Sean delighted in peeling back the carpets for guests to show them the stains where the blood from wounded soldiers had seeped into the wooden floorboards.
Sean Conlon started slam at the Boston Cantab lounge in 2005, and was in finals for all three local MA venues in his first year of competition. He’s toured behind music and also as a spoken word artist. As the Slammaster of the HC Slam Collective, Sean founded the first Nationally Certified spoken word venue based on a college campus, and has taken teams to two national competitions (CUPSI and NPS). As a competitor at both events, Sean had the distinction of being the first spoken word poet to open up the Finals night for both the College National (CUPSI) and Adult National (NPS) competitions.
Sean's poetry stands as proof that he still loves to peel back the layers and show where the bloodstains are.
"Original...[Sean's Work] reminds me of things like worn out tennis shoes and bed box springs that you find abandoned on the side of the road." -Damien Jurado
"Sean is southern drawl sensual movement, like a summer canoe ride down a lazy river." Philip Hasouris of the Brockton Poetry Series
