Avery Robinson
- Graduate Student, MFA Poetry
Avery Robinson is a trans poet and punk from Orlando. Currently, they are an MFA candidate at the University of Pittsburgh. Their work centers the trans body as a haunted monument, tracing the pulse of its specters across multiple iterations of a buried self, a living name, and the music and media they first learned to disappear inside of. They have received fellowships from the Watering Hol, Tin House, Lambda Literary Fellow, and Community of Writers. Previously, they were the recipient of two Pushcart nominations and the 2023 Porter House Review Editor’s Prize. Their poems can be found in Beloit Poetry Journal, Black Warrior Review, Obsidian, Seventh Wave, Hunger Mountain, and others. You can find them wherever the music is loudest.
