 San Francisco Renaissance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term San Francisco Renaissance is used as a global designation for a range of poetic activity centred around that city and which brought it to prominence as a hub of the American poetic avant-garde.
However, others (e.g., Ralph J. Gleason, Alan Watts) felt this renaissance was a broader phenomenon and should be seen as also encompassing visual and performing arts, philosophy, cross-cultural interests (particularly those that involved Asian cultures), and new social sensibilities.
Gleason and Duncan were particularly close and read and criticised each other's work.

 Voice Literary Supplement: Off the Map
In the 1950s, at the convergence of "The Maidens," Jack Spicer's Magic Workshop, and the incursion of the Beats, Gleason (as her companion, Mary Clarke Greer, put it) had to "really work to make herself heard among all those strong egos.
As Madeline Gleason wrote: "The series of steps leading up to the event ring from us the bells of frightened and frightening interest.
We must know the mind's movement as it proceeds with a poem." By acknowledging fright and bewilderment, Madeline Gleason and Fanny Howe harness the sources of power within language to contend and speak for us, with and in the world.

But though Adams can seem to read these words as barbarous and the lack of language as tragic, there is also room in her poems for a meaningfulness without meaning, for a language of love that speaks without reference or comprehension.
Concerned perhaps more with the mystery of language than with anything language supposedly expresses, bridging experimental and traditional poetics in unexpected ways, Adams' incantatory poetry is an intriguing precursor of the work of such poets as Helen Adam and Madeline Gleason.
As she commands the reader in the last few lines of Adams' poem "Counsel to Unreason,"
