About Our Director and Founder 
Sheila Lanham, a poet and artist, founded U.S. Poets in Mexico in 2008. Her first visits to Mexico began in 1978 with a visit to Zihuatanejo accompanying artist Larry Rivers. Sheila attended The School of Visual Arts and The New School for Social Research in NYC and The Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, MD majoring in Painting. In the early 1980's, she was co-editor with poet David Beaudouin for a few years of The Pearl: A Baltimore Literary Journal. She is the author of Baltimore: Blues and Greens, a chapbook, was included in A Gathering of Voices: An Anthology of Baltimore Poets (Dolphin Moon Press), and has been included in various e-zines. Sheila previously worked as an archivist in the studios of leading contemporary artists. She organized archives towards the publication of Catalogue Raisonnés in the studios of French artist Arman and Dutch artist Karel Appel, and many others. Sheila also worked as poet Kenneth Koch's assistant and organized his personal archives. Sheila currently resides in NYC with her son. U.S. Poets in Mexico was formed out of a love of poets and poetry, a love of Mexico, a desire to know more about Mexican poetry and to share that knowledge.
