Rooted in the tradition of the blues, he writes to document the scope and sweep of Black life in America. Through poetry, performance, and the rhythms of modern language, he blurs the line between poem and song while exploring race, culture, love, mental health, and masculinity.

As a poet, Savon’s writing has appeared in The New York Times, Slate Magazine, Afropunk, Great Weather for Media, and The Odyssey. His poems have been published in The Careless Embrace of the Boneshaker Anthology, in his debut collection, Liquid Sunset, and his most recent collection Uncut Blues

A former competitive slam poet, he placed third in the world at Brave New Voices (2013) and has spent the last decade as a touring artist, educator, and speaker. From The Apollo Theater to the United States General Assembly, Savon has performed on global stages and alongside artists such as The Wu-Tang Clan, JID, and Common.

Savon is a proud alumnus of The Public Theater’s #BARS Lab and Devised Theater Working Group in New York. His debut play, Holes in the Shape of My Father—a story about the myth and miracle of boys becoming men—premiered Off-Broadway at The Public Theater’s 2023 Under the Radar Festival.

His theatrical work has been featured in Broadway World and Playbill, and continues to explore the intersections of language, memory, and music.
