John Rupkey is a philosopher, rabble rouser, and the unofficial history keeper of Wolf Spider Island’s past. After years spent as a Christian Brother, he came out as gay, found community on the island, and became a central figure in the fight to save the Latsch Island boathouses.

Listen to John Rupkey read a poem by Walt Whitman that helped inspire his pseudonym.
