Cheney-Coker was born a Creole in Freetown, Sierra Leone, with the name Syl Cheney Coker, and changed his name to its current spelling in 1970.〔Clarke, George Elliot, ''Odysseys Home: Mapping African-Canadian Literature'' (Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 2002), 128.〕 He went to the United States in 1966, where he attended the University of California, Los Angeles, the University of Oregon, and the University of Wisconsin–Madison. After his schooling he returned briefly to Sierra Leone, but accepted a position at the University of the Philippines in 1975; he later married a Filipino woman.〔Hallowell, Gbanabom, "The Claustrophobia of Exile: African Poets Writing in the 'Wasteland'" (''Sea Breeze'': Journal of Contemporary Liberian Writings Vol. 3, No. 1 ()).〕 He moved to Nigeria in 1977 to teach at the University of Maiduguri, and returned to the United States in 1988 to be Writer-in-Residence at the University of Iowa.
