Gary Chapin lives in Maine and began writing in performing poetry while in college in New Brunswick, NJ, in the late '80s.

Over the last five years he has published in online journals, including The Ekphrastic Review, Scrittura, Carness, MuddyUm, Interstitial, Dead or Alive, and Contemplate. He also appeared in anthologies including Wouldn't You Rather Be Laughing and I Am From. A high point in his career was reading at the Knitting Factory, NYC, back when it was found on Houston St. Gary also plays accordion and has five cats.
