Enheduana's poems are currently the oldest we have with an author's name attached. She was the daughter of Sargon of Akkad, the first ruler of the Akkadian Empire. She was a high priestess of some sort (at 4300 years distance, we really know nothing much). For more, see her Wikipedia article. Just bear in mind that a lot of the sources we have come from centuries later and/or have been through at least one layer of translation before being translated to English. There's a lot of guesswork stated as certainty. The volume I read has a lot of articles about the world of Enheduana, more pages of articles than of poems. All of the poems have lacunae.
