Biographical Sketch
Gregory Corso, 1930- , one of the original Beat poets, was
born to Italian parents in Greenwich Village. His mother returned to Italy
shortly after his birth, and he spent his first thirteen years living in
various orphanages, foster homes, and reform schools. At thirteen he began
living on the streets, sleeping in subway stations, and resorting to petty
thievery to eat. At sixteen he participated in an organized robbery which
netted $21,000, was caught, and sentenced to three years in Clinton State
Prison.
Corso used his time in prison to good advantage, reading the
better part of the prison library and studying a 1905 English dictionary
inherited from a fellow prisoner. It was in the prison library that he
discovered Shelley and developed a life-long enthusiasm for the poet. It was
during these years in prison that he began to write.
Released from prison in 1950, Corso met Allen Ginsberg in the
Pony Stable, a Greenwich Village bar. Ginsberg took an interest in Corso's
poetry and introduced him to Jack Kerouac and William Burroughs. Over the next
several years Corso eked out a living doing manual labor and other marginal
jobs. During 1954-55 he sat in on classes at Harvard where his one-act farce
In This Hung-Up Age was
performed, and his first volume of poetry,
The Vestal Lady on Brattle and Other
Poems (1955), was privately published. In 1956 he moved to the West
Coast following Ginsberg and Kerouac. He met Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Ginsberg's
publisher, who published a volume of Corso's poems,
Gasoline, in 1958. Corso also
joined Ginsberg in literary events where Ginsberg preformed his long poem
Howl. In 1957 he joined fellow
Beats Ginsberg, Kerouac, and Peter Orlovsky on a trip to Tangier to visit
William Burroughs.
Over the next five years Corso traveled throughout Europe,
returning occasionally to the United States for poetry readings. He supported
himself with royalty and advance checks and loans from friends. His anxious
moments at the American Express offices, waiting for checks, provided material
for his only novel,
American Express (1961).
Since 1961 he has alternated residences between New York City
and the Naropa Institute in Boulder, Colorado. During his stays in New York he
has taught occasionally at the State University of New York, Buffalo.

Scope and Contents
Holograph and typescript poems and working notebooks make up
the bulk of the Gregory Corso Collection, 1890-1978 (bulk 1950-1976),
supplemented by prose works and correspondence. The collection is organized
into three series, arranged alphabetically by author or title and
chronologically where possible: Series I. Works, 1950-1975 (8 boxes); Series
II. Correspondence, 1954-1976 (1.5 boxes); and Series III. Third-party Works
and Correspondence, 1890-1968 (.5 box). This collection was previously
accessible through a card catalog, but has been re-cataloged as part of a
retrospective conversion project.
The Works Series is divided into four subseries: A. Poetry,
1950-1975 (4 boxes); B. Other Works, 1952-1978, (1 box); C. Notebooks,
1957-1973 (3 boxes); and D. Personal Papers, 1964-1965 (1 folder). The poetry
section contains hundreds of Corso's poems, many untitled and most undated. Of
particular interest are sections of
The Geometric Poem, a proof copy
of
Selected Poems, and two versions
of
Way-Out: A Poem in Discord. The
other works section includes a quantity of fragments and untitled pieces of
works, essays, and reviews in addition to partial versions and fragments of
The Computer and the Centaur and
J.F.K.: A Little Verse Play. The
notebooks section contains 32 notebooks in which Corso wrote down thoughts and
ideas. They contain numerous drafts of poems and prose works as well as ink and
pencil sketches. The personal papers section has a few items including an
address book and a tax statement. Titles and first lines of untitled poems,
including those in the notebooks, are listed in the Index of Works at the end
of this guide.
The Correspondence Series includes a few letters by Corso but
is composed primarily of letters he received. Of particular note are letters
from Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Allen Ginsberg, New Directions (publishers), and
Peter Orlovsky. Individual correspondents are listed in the Index of
Correspondents at the end of this guide.
The Third-party Works and Correspondence Series is made up of
a few works by other authors including a partial stage adaptation of Corso's
American Express and two poems by
Allen Ginsberg, and letters between friends and associates of Corso, many
concerning Corso. There is also an 1890 letter from the Russian American
National League to a Mrs. G.A. Frost. Individual correspondents are included in
the Index of Correspondents.
Located elsewhere in the Ransom Center are 123 ink, crayon,
and watercolor images created by Corso. A number of the pictures are in two
sketchbooks and the subjects of the works include self portraits, landscapes,
human figures, nature, animals, and street scenes. Most of the images in the
drawings are abstract; some are illustrations for
Earth Egg, a poem by Corso. Also
located in the Art Collection are several caricatures of Corso and other Beat
poets by several artists. There is also a proof sheet of Corso in twelve poses
located in the Literary Files of the Photography Collection.
