Type:
General
Note:
Warren Tallman reflects on the significance of geography and its impact on his work, sharing insights about his life in Vancouver and his early writings. During his discussion, a visitor arrives, prompting him to ask Roy Miki to pause the recording at 27:47. The recording resumes at 27:49, with Tallman speaking about Robert Creeley, but Miki redirects the conversation to Tallman's childhood and the influence of his family during that time. This tape ends at 30:53 on side one and resumes at 33:39, where Tallman shares more details about San Francisco and its vibrant poetry scene, including figures such as Ellen (his wife), Marta, Robert Creeley, Robert Duncan, and Jack Spicer. He explores the relationships among these poets and highlights Ellen's pivotal role in shaping and nurturing these connections. Tallman also discusses the contemporary art festival at UBC and the involvement of these poets in the event.
