Keith Martin-Smith was raised in the closed and self-assured world of Catholicism, but by his early teens felt deeply alienated by it and the suburban
A profound crisis of meaning sent him on an odyssey that spanned 10 years and three cities -- New York, Philadelphia, and Denver. He searched for answers through post-modern philosophy and Bohemia as the esoteric disciplines of Northern Shaolin Kung Fu, Qi Gong, and Vajrayana Buddhsim were reshaping his life. He spent his 20’s attaining mastery of these arts (and now teaches them), while simultaneously deepening his understanding of literature and philosophy.
He is planning on publishing two additional major works of fiction in the next year as well as a non-fiction book on Northern Shaolin Kung Fu (coming out in April 2010). Keith currently makes his living as a writer and teacher, and is a senior practitioner of Rinzai Zen under JunPo Dennis Kelly Roshi. He lives in Boulder, Colorado. |
