Since receiving a Fulbright Fellowship in 2010-2011, Gulig’s creative and critical work has focused primarily on binary (mis)constructions of “eastern” and “western” cultural ideals as they occur in both popular and academic mediums. Of his writing, the poet Graham Foust has written that Gulig’s poems are “a record of someone struggling to find the vital combinations for the words with which he’s both struck and stuck, an essaying that succeeds in creating for us—in lines and stanzas and sentences—something akin to a new vocabulary.
Currently, he lives in Fort Atkinson, WI with his wife and two daughters and teaches creative writing and poetics at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater.
