I checked out an english translation of Aniara and it did not hit the same notes at all for me.

>no mention of Harry Martinson
For shame. I'd recommend his Aniara to anyone - it's a long, narrative poem about the final ship to carry refugees from the Earth to one of humanity's colonies on Mars and Venus, but is knocked off course and continues on into the void. He mixes free verse, songs and more traditional meter with rhyme in its (roughly) 100 cantos.

It's about as joyful as you'd expect from a swedish 20th century poet.

How many authors have committed seppuku?

We have Mishima and Martinson so far; who else?
