While studying with Alan Watts in San Francisco, he befriended the poet Gary Snyder with whom he moved over to Mill Valley in the late 1950s. Through Snyder, Locke became acquainted with many of the Beats, serving as a model for one of the major characters of Jack Kerouac's 1958 novel The Dharma Bums.
