Keith Gaustad has never won a single poetry contest. He applied to a graduate program once and was even accepted but not awarded a TAship and couldn’t afford to go. That’s why he’s still in Milwaukee making Burdock Magazine, hosting an internet radio show called Burdock Radio, promoting a poetry & music series called Burdock Presents and publishing chapbooks on Teppichfresser Press. (author of High Art & Love Poems, 2012)
