Plumly was born in Barnesville, Ohio in a working class family with a farmland. He grew up in Ohio and Virginia. His working-class upbringing on farmland would feature heavily in his poetry and books.[2] His upbringing was also influenced by Quakerism.[3]
He graduated from Wilmington College in Ohio and taught for a number of years at Ohio University, where he helped found The Ohio Review. He taught the writing program at the University of Maryland from 2009.[4] He was called "the most English American poet"[2] and held Keats in high regard.[3]
Plumly died on April 11, 2019, in Frederick, Maryland, at the age 79 of multiple myeloma.[5]
