Robert Lax was born in 1915 in Olean, New York. During his time at Columbia University, he had the opportunity to study under the guidance of Mark van Doren, forming close bonds with fellow classmate and poet Thomas Merton, and painter Ad Reinhardt. After his time at Columbia, he held various positions such as university lecturer, film critic, script writer, and editor for The New Yorker. In the 1950s, he embarked on a journey across Europe as a “roving editor” for Jubilee, a Catholic magazine, and PAX, while also making contributions to a range of anthologies and publications. In 1962, he made the decision to relocate to the beautiful Greek islands, where he resided until his passing in 2000.
