General
Note:
Roy Miki begins the discussion by asking Warren Tallman to elaborate on Donald Allen's anthology, The New American Poetry 1945–1960, its influence, how it was compiled, and the significant contribution of Charles Olson to the book's creation.Tallman noted how the anthology gained widespread attention and became a bestseller. They also discussed the concept of open-form poetry, which emerged and gained traction in the 1940s. The conversation touched on the coincidence of the end of World War II, the rise of jazz, and the development of open-form poetry, exploring their interconnected influences.
On the second side of the discussion, they shifted their focus to McCarthyism, with Tallman sharing his perspective on living through that era and its profound impact on poets and authors. The discussion concluded with a conversation about the concept of proprioception in poetry.
