Taggard Moves to New York City
Poet involved
What happened
After graduating from Berkeley, Genevieve Taggard moved to New York City in 1920, settling in Greenwich Village and taking a job with the publisher B.W. Huebsch. The city's vibrant bohemian and radical literary scenes immediately absorbed her, and she soon became a fixture in the circles of The Masses, The Liberator, and other avant‑garde publications.
Literary impact
New York immersed Taggard in the ferment of modernism and left‑wing politics, providing the intellectual and social milieu that would define her career. The city's energy and diversity fed her poetry with new subjects and perspectives, while her editorial work connected her to a network of writers who shared her commitment to art and social change.
