First published in Spring 1960 Kenyon Review
- Kenyon Review founded in 1939 by John Crowe Ransom
- Dr Ransom retired in 1959
- Robie Macauley took the editorship - & ran with it for 10 years, so he
and/or his people likely shepherded “Entropy” (although maybe not, since it
was in the Spring 1960 issue, depending on how far in advance it was
acquired)
- Macauley’s WWII experience included the liberation of Flossenburg
concentration camp
- moribund from 1969 to 1979, Kenyon Review was revived by Marilyn Hacker,
poet (& early wife of SF author Samuel Delany)
- it’s still around; cumulative lists of contributors is even more
impressive than those of “New World Writing” if that is possible
