History / Bio: Harold Norse was closely associated with the Beat Generation and literary counterculture circles surrounding Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs, and the San Francisco Renaissance. Though often considered outside the core Beat canon, Norse developed a reputation for candid autobiographical poetry, expatriate themes, gay identity, and experimental literary forms. City Lights Books became one of the most important publishers in postwar American poetry and underground literature, known especially for the Pocket Poets Series which published works by Allen Ginsberg, Gregory Corso, Diane di Prima, Frank O’Hara, and many other major literary figures.
