Rae White is a Brisbane-based poet and writer. White is non-binary and the founding editor of the online periodical #EnbyLife: Journal for non-binary and gender diverse creatives. White's 2017 poetry collection Milk Teeth won the Thomas Shapcott Poetry Prize, was commended in the 2018 Anne Elder Award, and was shortlisted for the 2019 Victorian Premier's Literary Awards. Their poetry and writing has been published in the Australian Poetry Journal, Capricious, Cordite, Meanjin, Overland, and Rabbit.
White's poems have been described as "challeng[ing] notions of category, identity, form and gender"[1] and having an "ability to incorporate new techniques without alienating the reader".[2] They are also involved in poetry judging panels, including the 2019 and 2020 Anne Elder Award. They have a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Creative Writing Production from QUT.
