==Biography==
Ryan was born in San Jose, California, and was raised in several areas of the San Joaquin Valley and the Mojave Desert.〔〕 After attending Antelope Valley College, she received bachelor's and master's degrees in English from University of California, Los Angeles.〔 Ryan received her B.A. in 1967 and her M.A. in 1968.〕 Since 1971, she has lived in Marin County, California, and has taught English part-time at the College of Marin in Kentfield. Carol Adair, who was also an instructor at the College of Marin, was Ryan's partner from 1978 until Adair's death in 2009.〔〕
Her first collection, ''Dragon Acts to Dragon Ends'', was privately published in 1983 with the help of friends.〔Ryan told Richard Halstead (''Marin Independent Journal'', 2007) that, "There is a certain onus on publishing one's own book. So, I wasn't terribly proud to be doing that. It was the act of a desperate woman, and it did me not a shred of good."〕 While she found a commercial publisher for her second collection, ''Strangely Marked Metal'' (1985), her work went nearly unrecognized until the mid-1990s, when some of her poems were anthologized and the first reviews in national journals were published.〔〕 She became widely recognized following her receipt of the Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize in 2004, and published her sixth collection of poetry, ''The Niagara River'', in 2005.
In July 2008, the U.S. Library of Congress announced that Ryan would be the sixteenth Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress for a one-year term commencing in Autumn 2008. She succeeded Charles Simic.〔 In April 2009, the Library announced that Ryan would serve a second one-year term extending through May 2010.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 date = April 13, 2009 )〕 She was succeeded by W.S. Merwin in June 2010.
