Gary Michael Dault is a writer, critic and visual artist who, until a year ago, lived almost his whole life in Toronto and who now lives in Napanee, Ontario. Dault is a prolific writer of magazine articles, catalogues for museums and art galleries and, for the past fourteen years, has contributed a weekly art review column, Gallery Going, to The Globe & Mail.

Gary’s published poetry books include: Flying Fish (Exile Editions, 1996), The Milk of Birds (Mansfield Press, 2006), which he read at Influency in the fall of 2008, and Handyman which is forthcoming from Black Moss Press. His epically-scaled work of prose-poetry, Toronto Myth, is an online collaboration with photographer Lee Ka-Sing and Holly Lee of the online magazine, The Monday Art Post, for which Dault provides a weekly column called Notes From Swan House.

Gary is the author, co-author or editor of a number of art and photography books. His own art and photography has been exhibited widely in Canada and most recently at Index Art Gallery in Toronto (2010).

Gary has contributed regularly to numerous radio and TV programs, most frequently to TVO's Studio 2 and The Agenda.
