* 16.02.1948, Carlisle, United Kingdom
lives in: London, United Kingdom
Denise Riley, born in Carlisle, England in 1948, educated at Cambridge and Oxford, saw her first publication in the 1970s.

As  a poet, essayist, teacher, she is known for her ability to meld philosophy, feminism, art theory, and literary history in books of poetry and prose. 
Riley turns abstract intellectual questions personal, and can be seen as the UK’s best answer to the New York School poets, bringing together philosophy with everyday speech and pop culture.

Until recently, She was Professor of the History of Ideas and of Poetry at the University of East Anglia. Her critical writings on motherhood, women in history, "identity", and philosophy of language, are recognised as an important contribution to feminism and contemporary philosophy.
