“The Destroyer In The Glass” is the 110th recipient of the Yale Series of Younger Poets Prize, the oldest annual literary award in the United States.
 
“ ‘The Destroyer in the Glass’ impresses at once with its wedding of intellect, heart, sly humor, and formal dexterity, all in the service of negotiating those moments when an impulse toward communion with others competes with an instinct for a more isolated self. The poems both examine and embody the nexus of joy and sorrow, of certainty and confusion, without which there’d be none of the restlessness that makes us uniquely human. Warren’s vision is a generous one indeed —and itself a gift.” –Carl Phillips, Judge’s Citation
