No, not Kenner, since this was written between 1956-1957 (see reference to Aloise Buckley). Kenner met Buckley in 1958 & started writing for NR soon thereafter. Aloise Buckley died in 1957.
Was it 1957 or 1967?https://www.nytimes.com/1967/01/18/archives/aloise-buckley-48-writer-and-editor.html …
The references to the Catholic birth control debate also make it seem later than the 1950s.
Ah, 1967. Okay, it could be Kenner. He occasionally wrote light verse (some of which is in his letters to Davenport and embedded in some of his books).
