Biography

Gloria Frym is an American poet, fiction writer, and essayist. She grew up in Los Angeles and lived in New Mexico for many years. She earned her MA and BA degrees at the University of New Mexico where she studied with the poet Robert Creeley.

In the 1980s, she taught creative writing at San Francisco State University, as well as the San Francisco county jails. During this time, she became interested in elements of language poetry and other theory-based poetics and began writing prose poems, developing into the prose narrative.

From 1987 to 2002, she was core faculty in the poetics program at the New College of California in San Francisco, founded for the poet Robert Duncan. She is currently Professor in the MFA and BA Writing & Literature Programs at California College of the Arts in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Her book Homeless at Home won a 2002 American Book Award. Her other honors include the San Francisco State University Poetry Center Book Award, grants from the California Arts Council and The Walter and Elise Haas Creative Work Fund, and two awards from the Fund for Poetry.

Frym is frequently guest faculty in the Summer Writing Program at Naropa University in Boulder, CO. She has served as Distinguished Writer in Residence at St. Mary’s College in Moraga, California and Visiting Professor of Creative Writing at the University of New Mexico. She has guest lectured at Evergreen State College; The Woodland Pattern Book Center, Milwaukee; Western Connecticut State University, Danbury, CT; Scripps College, Claremont; the American Embassy Cultural Centers, Nagoya and Kyoto, Japan; New Langton Arts and Intersection in San Francisco; and The Chautauqua Institution in New York.
