Sean Thomas MacInnes

Sean Thomas MacInnes is particularly likable and inviting and for the most part hangs out a big welcome sign. Proof that movement has come of age, he manages to be both at one and unleashed! Having received a BFA in Theater from The University of Memphis; studied Comedia Del Arte and Lazzi Theatre at Bretton Hall College in Leeds; and received an MFA in Creative Writing from Naropa University's Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics in Boulder, CO – in that order – Sean has since published two books of poetry, "Critical Series" and "A Room Of Trees", and been published in, among others, Bombay Gin, Elephant Journal, and the Pittsburgh Post Gazette.
