Overview of the events of 1974 in poetry
Events
April – The dictatorship in
Portugal falls; in the six months prior, with increasing repression and a discouraging atmosphere, little new work has been published; yet later in the year, not much new poetry is published either as "writers who had based their style on censor-proof allusiveness and their themes on protest would now have to do some retooling".
[1]
July 23 – The dictatorial
Greek junta falls; start of the
Metapolitefsi : exiled poets, authors and intellectuals return to the country to publish there.
October 4 – While
Ann Sexton is having lunch with her friend, fellow poet and collaborator
Maxine Kumin to review Sexton's most recent book, The Awful Rowing Toward God , without a note or any warning, Sexton goes into her garage, starts the ignition of her car and dies of carbon monoxide poisoning.
The
Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics is founded by
Allen Ginsberg and
Anne Waldman .
