Aaron, what an interesting question.

Here are links to Poetry magazine from October and November 1939. There are some poems there that clearly address the outbreak of war or its threat.

I have a sense that the upcoming horror of the war was best foreseen by those poets who knew firsthand about the civil war in Spain. That's something I hope to look into.
