        In both the Cold War and the Trump era, the fear of future threat has provided politicians with a carte blanche for generating anxiety among American citizens. This essay examines how poets in each era responded to the political cultivation of private insecurity, a practice that proliferates the fear, the anxiety, and the weariness that are grounded in the possibility of future threat. For many poets of both the Cold War and Trump eras, political critique lies not in the desire to express rational opposition to irrational policies but in the ability to make tangible the affective consequences of the cultivation of national insecurity.
        Tant dans l'ère de la Guerre froide que dans l'ère de Trump, la peur de menaces futures a donné carte blanche aux politiciens de créer de l'anxiété parmi les citoyens américains. Cet article examine comment les poètes de chaque ère ont répondu à la l'entretien politique de l'insécurité privée, une pratique qui fait croître la peur, l'anxiété et la méfiance qui sont ancrées dans la possibilité d'une menace future. Pour de nombreux poètes des ères de la Guerre froide et de Trump, la critique politique ne se trouve pas dans le désir d'exprimer une opposition nationale aux politiques irrationnelles, mais dans l'habileté à rendre tangible les conséquences affectives de l'entretien d'une insécurité nationale.
