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."],"collection_source_collection_id":["MsC 26"],"persistent_url":[""],"item_title":["George Bowering, Jenny [Shaw/Boucher], Rose Marie Cromwell, and Bill Bissett reading in Nanaimo on March 30, 1979"],"item_title_source":["J-card and Recording"],"item_language":["English, French"],"item_production_context":["Documentary recording"],"item_identifiers":["[]"],"rights":["Copyright Not Evaluated (CNE)"],"creator_names":["Tallman, Warren","Bowering, George","Cromwell, Rose Marie","Bissett, Bill","[Boucher, Jenny?]"],"creator_names_search":["Tallman, Warren","Bowering, George","Cromwell, Rose Marie","Bissett, Bill","[Boucher, Jenny?]"],"creators":["[{\"url\":\"http://viaf.org/viaf/11397708\",\"name\":\"Tallman, Warren\",\"dates\":\"1921-1994\",\"notes\":\"\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Speaker\"]},{\"url\":\"http://viaf.org/viaf/34469976\",\"name\":\"Bowering, George\",\"dates\":\"1935-\",\"notes\":\"\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Speaker\",\"Reader\"]},{\"url\":\"\",\"name\":\"Cromwell, Rose Marie\",\"dates\":\"\",\"notes\":\"\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Reader\"]},{\"url\":\"http://viaf.org/viaf/96127023\",\"name\":\"Bissett, Bill\",\"dates\":\"1939-\",\"notes\":\"\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Reader\",\"Performer\"]},{\"url\":\"\",\"name\":\"[Boucher, Jenny?]\",\"dates\":\"\",\"notes\":\"\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Reader\"]}]"],"contributors":["[]"],"Production_Date":[1979],"material_description":["[{\"side\":\"\",\"image\":\"../Uploads/12242/Warren Tallman Fonds_MsC 26.44_209.jpg\",\"other\":\"\",\"extent\":\"1/8 inch\",\"AV_types\":\"Audio\",\"tape_brand\":\"\",\"generations\":\"\",\"Conservation\":\"\",\"equalization\":\"\",\"playback_mode\":\"\",\"playing_speed\":\"\",\"sound_quality\":\"Good\",\"recording_type\":\"Analogue\",\"storage_capacity\":\"\",\"physical_condition\":\"Good\",\"track_configuration\":\"\",\"material_designation\":\"Cassette\",\"physical_composition\":\"Magnetic Tape\",\"accompanying_material\":\"J-card\",\"other_physical_description\":\"Black and white clear jewel case with J-card\"}]"],"material_designations":["Cassette"],"physical_compositions":["Magnetic Tape"],"recording_type":["Analogue"],"AV_type":["Audio"],"digital_description":["[{\"file_url\":\"\",\"file_path\":\"\",\"filename\":\"209 Side A.mp3\",\"channel_field\":\"Stereo\",\"sample_rate\":\"44.1 kHz\",\"duration\":\"T01:03:08\",\"precision\":\"\",\"size\":\"57.8 MB\",\"bitrate\":\"32 bit\",\"encoding\":\"WAV for master files and .MP3 for online files\",\"contents\":\"\",\"notes\":\"\",\"title\":\"\",\"credit\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"content_type\":\"Sound Recording\",\"featured\":\"\",\"public_access_url\":\"\"},{\"file_url\":\"\",\"file_path\":\"\",\"filename\":\"209 Side B.mp3\",\"channel_field\":\"Stereo\",\"sample_rate\":\"44.1 kHz\",\"duration\":\"T01:10:19\",\"precision\":\"\",\"size\":\"64.3 MB\",\"bitrate\":\"32 bit\",\"encoding\":\"WAV for master files and .MP3 for online files\",\"contents\":\"\",\"notes\":\"\",\"title\":\"\",\"credit\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"content_type\":\"Sound Recording\",\"featured\":\"\",\"public_access_url\":\"\"}]"],"Dates":["[{\"date\":\"1979-03-30\",\"type\":\"Production Date\",\"notes\":\"\",\"source\":\"J-card\"}]"],"Location":["[{\"url\":\"https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/2221210\",\"venue\":\"\",\"notes\":\"\",\"address\":\"Nanaimo, Regional District of Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada\",\"latitude\":\"49.1651\",\"longitude\":\"-123.9378\"}]"],"Address":["Nanaimo, Regional District of Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada"],"City":["Nanaimo, British Columbia"],"Note":["[]"],"Related_works":["[]"],"_version_":1853670556699721730,"timestamp":"2026-01-07T15:00:00.983Z","score":2.8138855},{"id":"8399","cataloger_name":["Mozhgan,Nourafkan"],"partnerInstitution":["Simon Fraser University"],"collection_source_collection":["Fred Wah Fonds"],"source_collection_label":["Fred Wah Fonds"],"collection_contributing_unit":["SFU Library"],"source_collection_uri":[""],"collection_image_url":[""],"collection_source_collection_description":["The Fred Wah fonds collects materials from Vancouver-based poet Fred Wah, who was appointed as Canadau2019s fifth Parliamentary Poet Laureate in 2011 and has published 25 books between 1965 and 2016.
