I’m a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I’ve earned Master’s degrees in Library and Information Studies and English (Literary Studies with an emphasis in Creative Writing). I’m currently working toward a Ph.D. in the English department’s Literary Studies Program and am employed as the Assistant Director of the English 100 program (“Introduction to College Composition”) at the UW-Madison. I’m at the beginning stages of a dissertation that will offer an ecocritical reading of several key Objectivist poets. I write poetry.

Hello Mr. Wagstaff,
Just read your post on the mine up north. Would like to touch base with you on it. drop me an email if you get a chance.
Thanks,

I’m your cousin “Gnat” AKA Natalie you wrote about in “Happy Geeks.” It sure is funny to see what your perspective and memories are of that time in our lives. LOL!
Cheers!
