  1. 1950s

    Move to San Francisco and its circle of poets

    In the 1950s he moved to San Francisco and worked as a market researcher; there he grew close to poets of the San Francisco Renaissance — James Broughton, Robert Duncan, Madeline Gleason and Kenneth Rexroth. A letter from his mentor William Carlos Williams opened the way to Rexroth; he also befriended Gary Snyder, Philip Whalen and Lew Welch.

  2. 1954

    Meeting Peter Orlovsky

    In San Francisco he met Peter Orlovsky, who remained his lifelong partner; selections from their correspondence have been published. Ginsberg later listed Orlovsky as his spouse in his Who’s Who entry.

  3. 1955

    Leaves his job to devote himself to poetry

    On a psychiatrist’s advice he dropped out of the working world to devote his whole life to poetry; soon after he began the first of many drafts of “Howl”, which he published the following year.

  4. 1955

    First public reading of “Howl” at the Six Gallery

    On 7 October 1955 the painter Wally Hedrick, co-founder of the Six Gallery, asked Ginsberg to organise a poetry reading; after rereading his draft of “Howl”, Ginsberg agreed and advertised the evening as “Six Poets at the Six Gallery”. It included the first public presentation of “Howl”, the poem that brought him worldwide fame.
