"It brought together for the first time, a decisive company of then disregarded poets such as Denise Levertov, Charles Olson, Allen Ginsberg, Robert Duncan, Margaret Avison, Philip Whalen... together with as yet unrecognised younger poets of that time, Michael Palmer, Clark Coolidge and many more."
  • The Soviet government appeared to begin removing freedoms previously granted to writers and artists in a process that began in November 1962 and continued this year. Yet the government proved uncertain and the writers persistent. In March of 1963 the gavel fell on the great debate," or so it appeared, wrote Harrison E. Salisbury, Moscow correspondent for The New York Times. Khrushchev announced that Soviet writers were the servants of the Communist Party and must reflect its orders. Among the authors he specifically targeted were the poets Yevgeny Yevtushenko and Andrei Voznesensky. Yevtushenko, on a tour of European cities earlier in the year, recited before large audiences, including a capacity audience at the Palais de Chaillot in Paris, and then returned home. "Literary Stalinists took over almost all the key publishing positions," Salisbury wrote. Yet the artists and writers who were criticized either refused to recant or did so in innocuous language.
