Michael Lally (born May 25, 1942) is an American-born poet and the author of twenty-seven books of poetry.

He is regarded as one of the New York School of poetry, which began in the early 1950s and is considered as one of the most influential movements of American poetry.

Early years

Lally was born in Orange, New Jersey, as the youngest of seven children in an Irish-American family of policemen, priests, and politicians, and was raised in South Orange, New Jersey. His autobiographical style of poetry and prose reflects on American culture from the 1950s to today: civil rights, gay rights, women's rights, and anti-war movements, as well as his active participation in each.

In 1959, Lally first started playing piano and reading his poetry in cafes and bars. In 1962, he joined the United States Air Force, where he spent more than four years as an enlisted man, and later used the G.I. Bill is a student at the University of Iowa Writers' Workshop.

He wrote the autobiographical "South Orange Sonnets" in 1972, which was the recipient of the New York Poetry Center Discovery Award.

In 1982, he went from New York to Los Angeles, where he appeared in film and television (as Michael David Lally). He was mostly known as a bad guy and sometimes as the occasional good guy. He appeared in films including Basic Instinct (1992), White Fang (1991) and Cool World (1992), as well as on television as Captain Bubb in Deadwood (2004), Walter Hoyt on NYPD Blue (1995–98) and Detective Frank Costa (1997–98). His writing made its way into several films, including The Prince of 'Ever's.

Lally has been married three times. Carol Lee Fisher, his first wife, lived from 1964 to 1979. Penelope Milford, his second wife, lived from 1982 to 1984. In 1997, he married Jaina Flynn for the third time before separating in 2003. Lally has three children: Caitlin, Miles, and Flynn.
