Circle Magazine

Circle Magazine was published from 1944 to 1948 by George Leite, initially with poet Bern Porter. Produced at Leite's Berkeley, California bookstore, daliel's (always a lowercase 'd'), it featured poetry, prose, criticism and art from many of those whose creative works and their successors would later come to called the San Francisco Renaissance.[1] In addition to the magazine, Circle Editions published contemporary authors such as Albert Cossery and Henry Miller (a personal friend of Leite's).[2]
