Hello All,
My name is Shannon Blake Skelton and I am a faculty member at Kansas State University. I have been a fan of Carroll's work since about 1991. As a student I worked with the poet George Wedge who hosted Carroll, Ginsberg, Ed Sanders, Jello Biafra and a slew of others as part of the River City Reunion in 1987. Here's an article on it.

. There's a good pic of Carroll in the article. Prof. Wedge introduced me to Carroll's work when I took a class with him entitled "Drugs and Alcohol and Its Influence on Writers." Here's more:

I've circled this group for a few years, but didn't make the plunge until today. I am so glad that this group exists to preserve Carroll's work and legacy.
Best, Shannon
