Luke Wagner
Writer from Cambridge, MA
I write essays, serialized fiction, and about contemporary art.
I grew up in Cambridge, Massachusetts, went to Belmont Hill and then Harvard, and played squash. Most of what I write appears first on Fourth Floor Light, my Substack, and all of it is collected here.
