In the obituary of the poet Harold Norse, who died last June, in the September-October issue of The Gay & Lesbian Review Jim Nawrocki tells of Norse and his lover Chester Kallman meeting W.H. Auden in Brookling in the late 1930's: 'He always wanted me,' Norse later recalled fondly of his early acquaintance with Auden, 'but I could never be with anyone that old.' Norse must have been 22 when Auden was 31...
Norse published his autobiography, Memoirs of a Bastard Angel, in 1989.
