Poetry, prose writings, and translations, ca. 1953-1959.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122530567

Comprises typescripts of 14 original poems, some signed, as well as typescript translations of 29 poems from The Roman Sonnets of Guiseppi Gioacchino Belli and four poems by Catullus. The translations of the Belli poems were to have been published in the Hudson Review in 1956, but finally came out in book form in 1960. Norse's preface to the Catullus translations indicates, "These poems have remained 'unofficial' for two thousand years. It is time for the 'iron curtain' of the Dark Ages of fake sanctity be lifted for the bleating Anglo-Saxon herd." Also includes a typescript with holograph corrections of Norse's The Golden Age of Ivor Winters, a review of Winters' article Problems for the Modern Critic of Literature, which appeared in the Hudson Review (vol.IX, no.3, Autumn 1956). It is not clear whether Norse's review was published.
