Paul Gilk

Paul Gilk is an independent intellectual who lives in the woods of northern Wisconsin. A long practitioner of voluntary poverty, he chose a life of deliberate retreat by building and living in a small cabin for nearly twenty years before reconstructing a nineteenth-century log house, both homes without electricity or running water. He is married to a Swiss citizen, Susanna Juon. Between them, they have seven grown children.
