  • The first annualThe Best American Poetryvolume is published this year.
  • During a poetry reading in which popularRussianpoetAndrei Voznesenskytakes written questions from the audience, he reads out two responses: "All of you are Jews or sold out to Jews", one reads. Another only says, "We will kill you". InThe Ditch: A Spiritual Trial,published in1986,Voznesensky had written poetry and prose about a 1941 German massacre of 12,000 Russians in the Crimea, and the looting of their mass graves in the 1980s by Soviet citizens that was tolerated, he said, by officials because the victims were primarily Jews. Voznesensky reads the notes out loud and challenges the writers to identify themselves. None does.[1]
