Born in 1946, Antler is recognized as Wisconsin’s greatest gay poet. Antler composed free verse spanning realms of wonder and exploring the emotional arch of male-male love most would find too intimate to express. Ginsberg called him “one of Whitman’s poets.” Not surprisingly, Antler received the Walt Whitman Association Prize. He was also Milwaukee Poet Laureate for 2003-2004.
