Gary Galsworth
Gary Galsworth was born and grew up in the New York City area. After high school, he spent three years in the Marine Corps before attending the Art Institute of Chicago and the University of Chicago, majoring in painting and, later, filmmaking. He made a number of films during the late 60s into the 70s.
Gary is a plumber and a student of Zen, practicing with his 103-year-old teacher, Joshu Sasaki Roshi, since 1976. Poetry began as a quiet aside.
Gary lives in Hoboken, New Jersey, spends a good part of his time in an old house in Long Branch on the Jersey Shore, and travels regularly to New Mexico and California.
