A native of Asheville, North Carolina, Gavin Geoffrey Dillard published his first two books of poetry while yet in high school. He has since published ten others, two anthologies, and his infamous Hollywood tell-all, In The Flesh: Undressing for Success. Also known as "the Naked Poet", his poems have been recorded by James Earl Jones and published in periodicals worldwide.

The author of dozens of songs and several musicals, Gavin has written songs with and for such luminaries as Sam Harris, Jake Heggie, Donna Summer, Peter Allen, Chanticleer and Disney Studios. He has been tutored in the art of playwrighting by friends Jerome Lawrence, John Patrick, Tom Eyen, and has written comedy with and for Dolly Parton, Joan Rivers and Lily Tomlin.

Once a leading gay porn star ("Track Meet", "Stryker Force" ...) Dillard became known for his lengthy affairs with two of Hollywood's wealthiest moguls, as recorded in his Barricade memoir, In The Flesh. Besides the ground-breaking Daedalus anthology of kinky verse, Between the Cracks, his most recent anthology, A Day for a Lay: A Century of Gay Poetry, came out in 1999 on the Barricade imprint.

His doggie musical, Bark!, opens September 17th, 2004, at the Coast Theatre in West Hollywood. Two other musicals are slated to immediately follow, including The Naked Poet, his biography in musical form.

Dillard is currently 49 years old, single, and lives on Maui with six cats and a  bevy of peafowl.
