Miles A. Coon resides in Palm Beach, Florida, with Mimi, his wife of more than fifty years. He received an M.F.A. in Poetry from Sarah Lawrence College in 2002 after having spent thirty years in a manufacturing business. He is a graduate of Harvard Law School, class of 1962, and the University of Virginia, with highest honors, class of 1959, where he studied Philosophy and Economics. His poems have appeared widely, and his chapbook, Homeland Security, was published by Jeanne Duval Editions in 2005. Miles is a supporter of many non-profit poetry organizations and independent presses. He is a self-described "workshop junkie," having participated in well over fifty of them. Miles founded the Palm Beach Poetry Festival in 2005 and served as its President and Chairman of the Board until 2022.
