Born in Guthrie, Kentucky, and educated at Vanderbilt University (BA 1925), Warren became a leader of the "[[Nashville Agrarians]]" in the 1930s. He represent a strong conservative voice in American letters. He won the Pulitzer Prize twice for poetry, ''Brother to Dragons'' (1953), a long, dramatic poem, and ''Promises'' (1957); and once for his novel about [[Huey Long]] and the corruptions of Southern politics in the 1930s, ''All the King’s Men'' (1946). Warren is the only one who have won [[Pulitzer Prize]]s for both fiction and poetry.
