Note:
Robert Creeley visited Vancouver in June 1990 and this series of tapes documents conversations held at Warren Tallman's home over June 1, 2, and 3, 1990. Parts of these group discussions were broadcast by Paul Mutton on Co-op Radio (likely on August 12, 1990). A live event "Tribute to Robert Creeley" was held at the Western Front on June 2, 1990 which was also recorded and broadcast in part.
Side A begins with a discussion of education, modern poetry, and Allen Ginsberg, specifically Ginsberg's teaching and creative writing in relation to the institution. The group sings happy birthday to Adeena Karasick and eats cake. Primary speakers in this portion are Creeley and Tallman.
Side B begins with a discussion of place and urbanization (primarily Creeley) and cuts after Tallman describes how the group will "report" the discussion to "the Kroetschs" (Smaro Kamboureli and Robert Kroetsch) and Roy Miki the following day (14:45). Here Tallman explains how the ideas for Creeley's visit coalesced around a special issue of Line magazine, "Robert Creeley in Vancouver," proposed by Roy Miki. At 16:25 Tallman summarizes the previous day's discussion. The theme of place is extended and Roy Miki, Irene Niechoda, Smaro Kamboureli and Adeena Karasick discuss the illusions of place and identity.
