I’m Ross White. Among other things, I write poems. I’m the editor of Inch, a magazine of short poetry and microfiction, and the publisher of Bull City Press. I’m a graduate of the MFA Program for Writers at Warren Wilson College, and I teach creative writing at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In 2011, I co-founded The Hinge Literary Center, which serves writers in North Carolina, and I now serve as the president of its Board of Directors. I’m a four-time recipient of work-study scholarships from the Bread Loaf Writers Conference. When asked, I’ll come teach poetry, publishing, or creative entrepreneurship, as I have at UNC-Greensboro and Guilford College.
My work has appeared in these fine publications, among others…

I only update these poem links once every year and a half, and never very thoroughly, so they could be woefully out of date by the time you read them.
Sir,
Your poems are fine, as I have read a few at the links above. Thank you for sharing your work with those who make their way to your corner(s) of the webnet. Vernon Twinburger applauds such efforts, and thanks you for bringing more to the world instead of less.
Thank you also for the continued mention of Vernon Twinburger in your postings and etcetera; your clear, unbridled support is an example to all Americans. You are part of an historic event for the good of the world. Your nation relies on you, Ross the Poet!
And again, your poems truly are fine. Especially ‘Past Life’ and ‘You Were Here.’ How, in this climate of electricity, can I make clear the sincerity of this praise?
