Join the Creative Writing Program to celebrate the launch of PhD student AJ White's debut poetry collection, Blue Loop. Selected by Chelsea Dingman for the National Poetry Series, this book offers an exploration of the path to recovery through acceptance and meditation on those qualities of the universe reflected in the self. No need to register; walk-ins welcome.

AJ White is a poet and educator from north Georgia. In addition to winning the 2024 National Poetry Series for his debut poetry collection, Blue Loop, he also won the 2023 Fugue Poetry Prize, selected by Kaveh Akbar, and a 2023 Academy of American Poets University Prize, selected by Tara Betts. AJ has received support from the Sewanee Writers' Conference, and his poetry has appeared in The
Account, Best New Poets, Blackbird, Overheard, West Trade Review, and elsewhere. He is a PhD student in Binghamton University’s Creative Writing Program.
