Michigander--
Could you give me a citation for the date of the poem's creation? I honestly have never seen a firm date affixed to it ... I know Barnett quotes it, but I don't recall much more than that (my copy of Barnett is hopelessly lost at the in-laws). But after reading the poem again, the irony is far too precise (and Libbie was far too decent a poet) to me to think it could have been written in any other time than after learning of her husband's fate.
And no, you are NOT an idiot. We share differing opinions regarding this issue, that's all.
