Source Collection Description:
Warren Tallman (7 November 1921 - 1 July 1994) was an American-born poetry professor who inspired the Canadian Tish movement and influenced the mid-20th century poetry scene in Canada. Born in Seattle attended the University of California, Berkeley on the G.I. Bill. There he met Ellen King; they married in 1951. In 1956, the Tallmans accepted teaching jobs in the English department at the University of British Columbia, where they helped Earle Birney and Roy Daniells to organize the creative writing department. In 1963, they hosted a poetry conference attended by Denise Levertov, Charles Olson, Allen Ginsberg, Robert Duncan, Margaret Avison, and Philip Whalen. The Tallman home itself also served as a poetry enclave of sorts. It was there that Jack Spicer gave some of his now legendary lectures. Two years later, they held another poetry conference in Berkeley, California. Sometimes criticized by Canadian literary nationalists for turning the Vancouver poetry circle into a California branch plant, Tallman embraced the Black Mountain school approach to poetry, and also was influenced from the Beats and other New American Poets. The fonds consists of correspondence, manuscripts, teaching papers, personal and financial records, material pertaining to the Vancouver Poetry Centre, photographs, audiotapes, ephemera, etc.

NOTES
Type:
General
Note:
Sides one and two are the four practices of Adeena Karasick Sensasound at various dates and places. J-card reads "Concord Ave," which is in Toronto.
In "ANERCA: woMANIFESTivO," Adeena Karasick writes, "In 1988, Kedrick [James] and I moved for a year to Montreal where, connecting with both the renegade English and French poetry and music scenes, we organized SENSASOUND—a Sound Poetry Fest
in both Montreal at McGill and Toronto (at the Rivoli) where, together with bill bissett, Steve McCaffery, Lillian Allen, Christopher Dewdney, Rafael Barreto-Rivera, Paul Dutton, we tried to revivify a sense of performance in poetry within an increasingly sterile environment" (22).
