In 1921 Harry Crosby married Mary Phelps Jacob, who later took the name "Caresse" Crosby. Two days after their wedding, they moved to Paris, France, where he worked in his uncle's bank. Uninterested in a respectable banker's life and desiring to pursue life as a poet, Crosby quit his job at the Morton Harjes Bank and in April of 1927 he and wife Caresse founded a book publishing company. Originally named Éditions Narcisse, it was later changed to the Black Sun Press. By 1928, Harry Crosby gained some recognition as a poet after the publishing of his Red Skeletons collection said to be heavily indebted to Charles Baudelaire and Edgar Allan Poe.
