Jack Micheline was a Beat poet, short-story writer, and painter, who quickly became an important figure in the San Franciscio Renaissance when he arrived in the city in the early 1960's. He was born Harold Martin Silver to a Romanian-Jewish family in the Bronx, and took his pen name from a combination of Jack London's first name and a recreation of his mother's name, Mitchell. In New York's Greenwich Village, he socialized with Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, Gregory Corso, Herbert Gold, Franz Kline, Norman Mailer, and other Village Beats and habitues. Kerouac wrote the introduction to his first collection of poetry, River of Red Wine (Troubador Press, 1957), which was favorably reviewed by Dorothy Parker in Esquire magazine. In San Francisco, his closest friends were the poets Charles Bukowski and A. D. Winans. The back room at San Francisco's Abandoned Planet Bookstore, until its closing, showcased Micheline's murals.
