Summary
Nationality words link to articles with information on the nation's poetry or literature (for instance, Irish or France). Raymond Souster founds the League of Canadian Poets Philip Hobsbaum, who had founded The Belfast Group in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in 1963, departs for Glasgow, and the Belfast Group meetings lapsed for a while, but then was reconstituted in 1968 by Michael Allen, Arthur Terry, and Seamus Heaney. At one time or another, the grouping also includes Michael Longley, James Simmons, Paul Muldoon, Ciaran Carson, Stewart Parker, Bernard MacLaverty and the critic Edna Longley. Meetings will be held at Seamus and Marie Heaney's house on Ashley Avenue. The Belfast Group will last until 1972. Russian poet Joseph Brodsky returns to Leningrad from the exile near the Arctic Circle where he had been sent when a Soviet court in 1964 convicted him of "parasitism". Starting this year and continuing for a decade, Bulgarian censors prevent publication of works by Konstantin Pavlov, poet and screenwriter who was defiant against his country's communist regime; his popularity didn't wane, as Bulgarians clandestinely copied and read his poems. Ted Hughes and Daniel Weissbort found Modern Poetry in Translation (MPT), a British journal focusing on the art of translating poetry. Later defunct, the magazine was relaunched in 2004 under editors David and Helen Constantine. The journal L'éphémère founded in France; poets associated with it include Yves Bonnefoy, Jacques Dupin and André du Bouchet; it ceased publication in 1973 Listed by nation where the work was first published (and again by the poet's native land, if different); substantially revised works listed separately: Margaret Avison, The Dumbfounding Earle Birney, Selected Poems Arthur Bourinot, Watcher of Men: selected poems (1947–66) George Bowering, The Silver Wire Leonard Cohen, The Parasites of Heaven John Robert Colombo, Miraculous Montages Robert Finch, Silverthorn Bush and Other Poems.
