Nata Diane Fink il 7 ottobre 1948 a Waukegan, nell'Illinois[1], ha conseguito un Bachelor of Arts all'Università statale della Pennsylvania nel 1970, mentre all'Università Cornell ha ottenuto un Master of Fine Arts in scrittura creativa nel 1973, un Master of Arts in Lingua Inglese nel 1976 e un dottorato di ricerca sempre in Inglese nel 1978[2].

Il suo esordio letterario è avvenuto nel 1976 con la raccolta di liriche The Planets: A Cosmic Pastoral scritte durante gli anni universitari sotto la supervisione scientifica di Carl Sagan, membro del comitato della sua tesi di dottorato[3].
