She traces her poetic calling to her memorization and recitation of verse in early childhood, and displayed her writerly proclivities as early as the age of ten, when Random House published her first work, The Joey Story, a novella about the Warren family dog. Principally a visual artist in her youth, Warren studied painting at Rome’s Accademia delle Belle Arti, Skowhegan, and Yale, before pursuing in earnest the craft of poetry, which she describes as a “tightrope walk over the abyss.” Shortly after earning an MFA from The Writing Seminars at Johns Hopkins University in 1980, Warren published Snow Day, her first chapbook of poetry, to critical acclaim. Harold Bloom called her second collection of poetry, Stained Glass, published in 1993 “a distinguished and elegiac book: somber, frequently bitter, but always invested with an authentic, quite marvelous aesthetic dignity.” Since then the recipient of numerous awards and fellowships from the New York Public Library, Pushcart Press, the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and the Guggenheim Foundation, Warren’s body of work is remarkable for its temporal bilocation: inscribed in the present though it may be, it gestures equally toward the hallows of classicism.

First, I have tried to elucidate Warren's poetry through a close study of a great number of individual poems, because the fact is that, after over half a century of prolific creativity as a poet, Warren is not very well or very widely understood, though he is good enough that he ought to be.
