Help Search: Biography of Robert Warren (1905-1989) Robert Warren An influential Southern poet, novelist, literary critic, and multiple winner of the Pulitzer Prize, Robert Penn Warren was recognized throughout his career as one of the foremost men of letters in American literature. Along with contemporaries including William Faulkner and Katherine Anne Porter, Warren is credited with helping activate a modernistic Southern literary renaissance in the 1920s, 30s, and 40s. Later Southern writers, such as fellow Pulitzer Prize winners Harper Lee ( To Kill A Mockingbird , in 1961), Eudora Welty ( The Optimist's Daughter , in 1973), and John Kennedy Toole ( A Confederacy of Dunces , in 1981), were influenced by the works of Warren and others. Robert Penn Warren was born into a middle-class family in Guthrie, Kentucky, on April 24, 1905. The South remembered that it was merely forty years since the conclusion of the Civil War. As a child, Warren was exceptionally intelligent, and he grew up with a fond appreciation for literature and a vivid knowledge of Southern history. At 16, Warren enrolled in Vanderbilt University, where he met and befriended a group of highly influential young Southern writers, including Allen Tate, Donald Davidson, and John Crowe Ransom.

October 19, 2001 Times Winged Chariot PARADOX OF TIME I. GRAVITY OF STONE AND ECSTASY OF WIND Each day now more precious will dawn, And loved faces turn dearer still, And when sunlight is withdrawn, The western star reigns In splendor, benign, arrogant, And the fact that it disdains You, and your tenement Of flesh, should instruct you in The paradox of Time, And the doubleness wherein The fleshly glory may gleam. Sit on the floor with a child. Hear laugh that creature so young. See loom its life-arch, and wild With rage, speak wild words sprung From vision, and thus atone For all folly now left behind. Learn the gravity of stone. Learn the ecstasy of wind. Robert Penn Warren in Rumor Verified I know that this "tenement of flesh" is all too temporary. I learned it in Vietnam, leaving too many friends behind. The media has never let me forget it. I know all too well the gravity of stone. My grandson Gavin helps me rediscover the "ecstasy of wind," forcing me to live in the moment. He has no name for me, but when he sees me he reaches out his arms to be picked up. That’s name enough for me, a print-oriented bastard who surely spends too much of his life looking for meaning in words.

Robert Penn Warren (1905-1989) excelled in three written genres-fiction, poetry, and literary criticism-and is one of the few writers to be awarded Pulitzer Prizes for both his poetry and his fiction. With Cleanth Brooks, he inspired practitioners of New Criticism and revolutionized the way literature was taught and studied in the academy. His 1946 novel All the King's Men, a fictionalized account of Louisianan Huey P. Long's gubernatorial administration, remains the template for American political commentary in fiction. In 1985, Warren became the first U.S. Poet Laureate. Conversations with Robert Penn Warren collects interviews ranging from the 1950s to the 1980s. Featuring interviews conducted by such writers and journalists as William Kennedy, Bill Moyers, C. Vann Woodward, and Roy Newquist, this collection's depth and focus are remarkable.

By Joseph Blotner. Illustrated. 585 pp. New York: Random House. $35. hen, a dozen years ago, Congress authorized the appointment of the nation's first poet laureate, Robert Penn Warren was named. It was a natural choice. Though nearly 80 at the time and cancer-stricken, with all his work behind him, he had long been considered the dean of American letters indeed, the very embodiment of the restless, ravening American imagination. One friend of his recalled that as a young man Warren had uncannily declared his ambition to become a ''man of letters,'' which he dutifully defined as a writer who distinguished himself in six genres: short story, novel, biography, poetry, criticism and drama. Over the course of a career spanning six decades, he did just that. Of how many others can the same be said? What do we think today of Henry James's plays? T. S. Eliot's fiction? Hemingway's poems? Faulkner's essays? After Vanderbilt, Warren went on to do graduate work at the University of California, Berkeley, and at Yale, and later at Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar. It was during these years that he met Hart Crane, Ford Madox Ford, Laura Riding, Paul Rosenfeld, Edmund Wilson, Malcolm Cowley, Ezra Pound, Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald. During the Sacco-Vanzetti trial, he became friends with a fellow protester, Katherine Anne Porter. His first books were soon published; he married and accepted teaching posts at Vanderbilt and later at Louisiana State University, where he founded The Southern Review.

ROBERT PENN WARREN by George Brosi No Kentucky author comes close to being as distinguished as Robert Penn Warren. Indeed, few American writers do! He served as the very first Poet Laureate of the United States of America and he remains the only writer ever to have received Pulitzer Prizes for both fiction and poetry. In fact, he received two Pulitzers in poetry for two different books! His writing about literary criticism in general and his responses to particular writersespecially William Faulkner and Katherine Anne Porter are as influential as any in this century. Mary Ellen Miller is not exaggerating when he writes in The Kentucky Encyclopedia that Warren is "one of the most distinguished scholar-writers America has produced. I'll Take My Stand Warren began his teaching career at Louisiana State University in 1934. There he collaborated with Cleanth Brooks, a native of Murray, Kentucky, not far from Guthrie, who had also been a part of the Vanderbilt Fugitives. Their text books and the publication they founded and directed, The Southern Review , were tremendously influential in literary circles. However, Warren's first novel and first poetry collections attracted little notice. In 1942 Warren accepted a teaching job at the University of Minnesota where he remained until 1951. It was during this time that Warren not only consolidated his reputation as a leading literary critic, but became successful as a novelist.
