NOTES

Type:
General
Note:
Side A contains Basil Bunting's lecture for his own class at UBC on November 30 1970: he's reading from Pound's "Cantos" and discussing the selections of poems as labelled on the cassette's jcard: "Canto 80," "Canto 81," "Canto 49", and "Canto 4". Bunting was in a visiting professor position for Fall 1970, brought by Tallman and Peter Quartermain. Side B is a b.p. nichol reading introduced by another speaker (potentially Robin Blaser). It is not clear if this event took place in one of Blaser's classes at SFU, nor is any date given. The sound quality on side two is better than side one
