Notes:
We assume this poetry reading is recorded at Selkirk College since it's the first part of Gerry Gilbert's talk at Selkirk College on November 28 in 1974, and the location (Selkirk College) is written on the tape's 15 j-card.
Selkirk College has up to 8 campuses, and we are not sure which campus this poetry reading must've taken place; we decided to enter Castlegar campus.

NOTES
Type:
General
Note:
Tape 15 has almost all the same information that we found on tape's 14 j-card; we assumed that these two tapes could belong to the same events, so the information regarding location and date filled here in this entry are taken from tape's 15 j-card.
Type:
General
Note:
Side one begins with a kid's voice singing a very short song saying that they'd read a book and they would be ready to read another book soon. It seems his name is Jeff.
Gerry Gilbert's speech begins at 3:11 on the first side. The quality of the tape is not good in the beginning; however, it improves after the first 6 minutes.

General
Note:
The quality of the tape is not good in the beginning; however, it improves after the first 6 minutes. The quality of side two is not good either, but it's audible.
