Note 18 — INTRODUCTION
Reading edition
The relationship of poetry and disaster is of interest. In a recent article on Disaster and Poetry a writer asks “whether often, if not always, suffering, disease and disaster do not bring to him [the poet] the will to create.”—Marks, Jeanette, “Disaster and Poetry,” North American Review, vol. 212, no. 1 (July, 1920), p. 93.
