CASE, Josephine Young

CASE, Josephine Young
(1907-1990)
   US writer of a remarkable book-length sf poem, At Midnight on the 31st of March (1938), set in a New England village suddenly isolated by some unidentified DISASTER from the rest of the USA, and consequently cast upon its own closely observed resources. What seemed, on its 1990 republication, to read as tocsin nostalgia for an impossible rapport with mythic roots may have read in 1938 as a clarion call.
