Denise Riley (born 1948, Carlisle) is an English poet and philosopher
who began to be published in the 1970s. Her poetry is remarkable for
its paradoxical interrogation of selfhood within the lyric mode. Her
critical writings on motherhood, women in history, identity, and
philosophy of language, are recognised as an important contribution to
Feminism and Contemporary Philosophy. She was, until recently,
Professor of Literature with Philosophy at the University of East
Anglia and is currently A. D. White Professor at Cornell University.
She was formerly Writer in Residence at Tate Gallery London, and has
held fellowships at Brown University and at Birkbeck, University of
London.
