From Wikipedia
Jonathan Galassi (1949 - ) born in Seattle, Washington,[1] is the President and Publisher of Farrar, Straus and Giroux, one of the eight major publishers in New York. He is generally regarded as a major figure in American publishing. He began his publishing career at Houghton Mifflin in Boston, moved to Random House in New York, and finally, to Farar, Straus & Giroux. He joined FSG as executive editor in 1985, after being fired from Random House. Two years later, he was named editor-in-chief, and is now President and Publisher.[2]
Galassi is also a translator of poetry and a poet himself. He has translated and published the poetic works of the Italian poet Eugenio Montale (Collected Poems 1920-1954, Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2000; Posthumous Diary, Turtle Point Press, 2001). His honors as a poet include a 1989 Guggenheim Fellowship,[3] and his activities include having been poetry editor for The Paris Review for ten years, and being an honorary chairman of the Academy of American Poets.[4] He has published poems in literary journals and magazines including Threepenny Review,[5] The New Yorker, The Nation and the Poetry Foundation website.
Galassi graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy where he became interested in poetry, writing and literature, and from Harvard College in 1971. He was a Marshall Scholar at Christ's College, Cambridge. He realized while attending Christ’s College that he wanted a career in book publishing.[6] Galassi was born in Seattle (his father worked as an attorney for the Justice Department), but he grew up in Plympton, Massachusetts. He lives in Brooklyn and is married to Susan Grace, and they have two daughters.[7]
