SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Reading\, Q&A\, and Book Signing with Jaswinder Bolina
DESCRIPTION:Login here (no pre-registration needed): http://tinyurl.com/ZellWriters26\n\nZell Visiting Writers Series readings and Q&As are free and open to the public and will be offered both virtually (via Zoom) and in person (in UMMA's Stern Auditorium). Seats are offered on a first come\, first served basis\; please arrive early to secure a spot.\n\nJaswinder Bolina is an American poet and essayist whose work frequently explores the intersections of language\, race\, and the South Asian immigrant experience. Born in Chicago to Punjabi immigrant parents\, he earned a B.A. in Philosophy from Loyola University Chicago\, an M.F.A. in Creative Writing from the University of Michigan\, and a Ph.D. in English from Ohio University. Bolina currently resides in Florida\, where he serves as Chair of the Department of English and Creative Writing and teaches in the M.F.A. program at the University of Miami.\n\nOften blending personal narrative with politics and metaphysics\, Bolina’s poetry is noted for its investigation of the “perceptual and sonic ground” of modern life. He is the author of four full-length poetry collections\, including his debut *Carrier Wave* (2007)—adapted from his M.F.A. thesis at the University of Michigan—*Phantom Camera *(2013)\, and *The 44th of July* (2019). His most recent collection\, *English as a Second Language and Other Poems* (2023)\, which was awarded the 2025 Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award from Claremont Graduate University\, continues his deep dive into cultural identity. Beyond poetry\, Bolina gained significant recognition for his 2020 essay collection\, *Of Color*\, which provides a poignant examination of racial perception and the complexities of the American dream. \n\nBolina’s writing has been recognized with numerous awards. His accolades include the Green Rose Prize for *Phantom Camera*\, the Colorado Prize for Poetry for *Carrier Wave*\, and a long-listing for the PEN America Open Book Award for *The 44th of July*. His work has been featured in *The New Yorker\, Poetry\, The Paris Review\,* and other journals.\n\nFor any questions about the event or to share accommodation needs\, please email zvwseries@umich.edu--we are eager to help ensure this event is inclusive to you.
