Poet Helen Bevington said: “People feared the mushroom cloud of death from the sky, feared radioactive fallout, feared the possibility that the earth might shift on its axis or that a chain reaction might destroy the planet”(Brunner 222).
The fear that Bevington described caused American’s to be eager for information about America’s political and social dilemmas, particularly the threat of nuclear war.
It is not unconscious, she is purposely, according to my interpretation, attempting to capture the tension of the paranoia that she feels and put in into a poem to make American’s aware of what may occur.

Per Bevington: Sources include George Chapman's translation of the first "Seven Books of the Iliads of Homer" (1598), and medieval romances about the war: Benoit de Sainte-Maure's "Roman de Troie" (1160), the Colonne translation of it called "Historia Troiana" (1287), Boccaccio "Il Filostrato", Chaucer's "Troilus and Criseyde (c.
