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".Britannica Book of the Year 1975 ("for events of 1974"), published by The Encyclopædia Britannica 1975; "Literature" article, "Portuguese" section, "Portugal" subsection, by Stephen Reckert, page 464 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.
