who wrote an epic poem about the depression?
English language poets who wrote directly about the Depression include Idris Davies, Robert Frost (in poems like Two Tramps in Mud Time), W H Auden and Louis Macneice. But in the English speaking world poets tended to focus more on the rise of fascism than on economic collapse. It took a genius like Brecht to understand that they were inseparable.
