Tao Lin (1983-) is an American poet, novelist, and short story writer.

He is the author of a novel, Eeeee Eee Eeee, and a story collection, Bed, which were published simultaneously by Melville House in May, 2007. He is also the author of a poetry collection, you are a little bit happier than i am, which won Action Books' December Prize in 2005. Another poetry-collection, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, will be published May, 2008 by Melville House, who will also publish his second novel.

A chapbook of poetry, this emotion was a little e-book, and one of stories, Today the Sky is Blue and White with Bright Blue Spots and a Small Pale Moon, were published by the internet press Bear Parade in 2006.

Tao serves as co-editor of poetry for 3:AM Magazine and co-edits with Ellen Kennedy a literary press called Ass Hi Books.

His writing has appeared in Noon, Nerve, Vice, The Stranger, The Mississippi Review, The Cincinnati Review, Other Voices, Fourteen Hills, and other magazines.

Gawker has referred to him as "maybe perhaps the single most irritating person we've ever had to deal with." [1] but has since "pardoned" him. [2]
