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":["Robert Kroetsch reading at SFU library on June 21, 1990"],"item_title_source":["cassette and j-card"],"item_language":["English"],"item_production_context":["Documentary recording"],"item_identifiers":["[]"],"rights":["Copyright Not Evaluated (CNE)"],"creator_names":["Tallman, Warren","Kroetsch, Robert","Miki, Roy"],"creator_names_search":["Tallman, Warren","Kroetsch, Robert","Miki, Roy"],"creators":["[{\"url\":\"http://viaf.org/viaf/11397708\",\"name\":\"Tallman, Warren\",\"dates\":\"1921-1994\",\"notes\":\"\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Speaker\"]},{\"url\":\"http://viaf.org/viaf/120613489\",\"name\":\" Kroetsch, Robert\",\"dates\":\"1927-2011\",\"notes\":\"\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Speaker\",\"Reader\"]},{\"url\":\"http://viaf.org/viaf/94949252\",\"name\":\"Miki, Roy\",\"dates\":\"1942-2024\",\"notes\":\"Roy Miki introduces Robert Kroetsch at the beginning of the first side \",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Speaker\"]}]"],"contributors":["[]"],"Production_Date":[1990],"material_description":["[{\"side\":\"\",\"image\":\"../Uploads/11548/Warren Tallman Fonds_MsC 26.42_144.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\":\"MSC26-144-SideA.mp3\",\"channel_field\":\"Stereo\",\"sample_rate\":\"44.1 kHz\",\"duration\":\"T00:46:48\",\"precision\":\"\",\"size\":\"58.8 MB\",\"bitrate\":\"32 bit\",\"encoding\":\"WAV for master files and .MP3 for online files\",\"contents\":\"\",\"notes\":\"\",\"title\":\"\",\"credit\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"content_type\":\"\",\"featured\":\"\",\"public_access_url\":\"\"},{\"file_url\":\"\",\"file_path\":\"\",\"filename\":\"MSC26-144-SideB.mp3\",\"channel_field\":\"Stereo\",\"sample_rate\":\"44.1 kHz\",\"duration\":\"T00:46:40\",\"precision\":\"\",\"size\":\"60.4 MB\",\"bitrate\":\"32 bit\",\"encoding\":\"WAV for master files and .MP3 for online files\",\"contents\":\"\",\"notes\":\"\",\"title\":\"\",\"credit\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"content_type\":\"\",\"featured\":\"\",\"public_access_url\":\"\"}]"],"Dates":["[{\"date\":\"1990-06-21\",\"type\":\"Production Date\",\"notes\":\"\",\"source\":\"J-card\"}]"],"Location":["[{\"url\":\"https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/102254132\",\"venue\":\"Simon Fraser University\",\"notes\":\"\",\"address\":\"8888 University Dr, Burnaby, BC, Canada\",\"latitude\":\"49.2767\",\"longitude\":\"-122.9178\"}]"],"Address":["8888 University Dr, Burnaby, BC, Canada"],"Venue":["Simon Fraser University"],"City":["Burnaby, British Columbia"],"Note":["[]"],"Related_works":["[]"],"_version_":1853670556698673156,"timestamp":"2026-01-07T15:00:00.983Z","score":2.4930124},{"id":"7276","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.

Long poem, Kerrisdale Elegies. Relationship with Rilke’s Duino Elegies, a rewriting for Vancouver in the 80s. The work consists of ten elegies, George Bowering reads #4 and #10.\n- [00:01:04] Elegy #4. Interjection #1: This poems speak to him, which is a true story, he did hear his father’s voice. Interjection #2: George Bowering chooses to skip over some French “because it’s so bad” (no laughter heard). Interjection #3: Poetry described by someone as “musical thought,” which George Bowering thought was “less than apt”\n- [00:08:59] Elegy #10. Relates to the concerns of the event – narrative influence. Interjection: “Really uplifting stuff, huh? Really sad.”\n- [00:18:55] Poem that George Bowering wants on his tombstone, “Oh lord if I have but one life to live, I hope this ain’t it” (laughter).\n- [00:19:25] Describes a new book of old poems, poems which are publically and socially oriented\n- [00:20:14] American Cops. Written mid to late 60s and published as a pamphlet prior to inclusion in poetry collection. Dedicated to John Sinclair. Discusses rock n roll political movements, MC5 in Detroit, the political party “Rainbow” which started as the White Panthers. Driving through America as Canadians, unused to seeing guns. Resonates well with the audience (laughter).\n- [00:25:51] Robert Kroetsch introductory remarks. Called post-modern writer in Canada, speaking on narrative because of the event theme and the academic concerns of the students in the audience.\n- [00:26:48] Sketches of a Lemon. Wary of notions of meaning, tried to pick an object lacking inherent meaning. Interjection: there is a lemon tree, deconstructs his poem for him.\n- [00:30:45] Seed Catalogue introduction. Shared text/tradition of seed catalogues, must engage with great garden poetry from Book of Genesis onward. Cabbages as an unexplored entry point. Only two seasons in Canada: winter and poor sledding. Reckoning with the false notion of spring, need to reinterpret our engagement with preconceptions of seasons inherited from British tradition. Interjection #1: Robert Kroetsch did fall off a horse standing still, while also playing with concept of fallen man. Interjection #2: second section picking up on oral tradition, in light of books/media that doesn’t reflect “us” (Canadians) we survive by telling each other stories. Laughter at father killing magpie. Interjection #3: Brome grass section came from telling a young female poet his difficulty in ending, and she told a Saskatchewan cowboy who sent a letter to Robert Kroetsch (the letter became the text).\n- [00:46:34] Four Questions for George George Bowering is a response to Kerrisdale Elegies. \n- [00:48:10] Question period. #1: George skipping over his bad French. How has multiple readings influenced their opinions of the poems – George Bowering: difference between composition and reading. Notation reflecting primary experience (reading). Explaining concept of notation. Robert Kroetsch: Movement away from speech model, dialoguing with George Bowering. #2: Prose and verse, is it clear which way a piece will go when writing. George Bowering: still imagines it being read out loud regardless of whether it is prose or verse. Robert Kroetsch: still reads as lyrical. Movement between writing the two is fluid.\n\n- * Dating determined to be approximately May 1986. Correspondence with Robert Kroetsch and Brian Edwards occurs only following the conference (591/96.6 4.42). George Bowering also corresponds with Edwards in 1984 and 1986 (correspondence housed at Library and Archives Canada). In the recording, a conference which Robert Kroetsch and George Bowering attended took place in Ottawa a “three weeks earlier” can be dated to April 25-27, 1986 (591/96.6 34.8). In another interview with Edwards, Robert Kroetsch references this conference in May (775/04.25 29.2).\n"],"contents":["George Bowering\n[00:01:04] \nPerforms \"Elegy Four\".\nGeorge Bowering\n[00:08:59]\nPerforms \"Elegy Ten\".\nGeorge Bowering\n[00:20:14]\nPerforms \"American Cops\". \nRobert Kroetsch\n[00:26:48]\nPerforms \"Sketches of a Lemon\". \nRobert Kroetsch \n[00:33:11]\nPerforms \"Seed Catalogue\".\nRobert Kroetsch \n[00:47:02]\n\"Four Questions for George Bowering\"."],"Note":["[{\"note\":\"\",\"type\":\"\"}]"],"Related_works":["[{\"url\":\"\",\"citation\":\"Bowering, Kerrisdale Elegies (1984).

Crow served as inspiration during difficult writing period. Robert Kroetsch prefers magic realism instead of documentary style, finds documentary unnatural to him “because I don’t believe documents are documents, that they themselves are another version of unreality or imagination if you will.” Versions of narrative operating through time, recovery of intermingling voices.\n- Stories of family are important, especially relationships with uncles and aunts because there is a necessary closeness and separation (don’t have the binding structures found with parents).\n- Creative strategies: resisting authorized versions of Alberta (historical, political), recovering personal experience but mediated by words (oral tradition). A few words recover an entire narrative pattern.\n- Interruption and intervention: question of “what is a reader?” The reader has enormous body of narrative in their head which can be tapped into by process of intervention.\n- Influences: earlier texts use myths/stories. In Crow, attempt to let multiple narratives speak at once without privileging one. i.e. the perception of crows as negative in Western world, but is a smart, positive, trickster figure in Indigenous epistemologies.\n- Story doesn’t exist until it is in the reader’s mind? Robert Kroetsch has abandoned romantic notion of the writer/artist. Meta-textualism. \n- Brian: post-modern privileges the reader, reader is invited into the text. Robert Kroetsch: It is difficult and dangerous to be the reader, because reading is no longer a controlled experience, but allows for the reader to explore. There is a sense of play or discovery.\n- Structuring narrative through love and death. Behind comedy there is a notion of great mystery.\n- Plays with the stereotype of active male and passive female\n- The responsibilities of the writer, reader, and critic: It is a gift exchange that goes both ways between reader and writer. The critic extends the reading. Brian: Notion of ideal reading assumes ideal reader. Robert Kroetsch: agrees and resists the ideal reading, through the gift exchange has surrendered himself to the reader. There is no ideal context for reading.\n- Robert Kroetsch writes poetry by resisting poetry. Deprivileging the word and the role of the writer. An interest in language. Poetry is concerned with more than words (he compares this to prose). It is not because of the high rhetoric, but the greater ability to focus on the language.\n- What parts of Crow are distinctly Canadian? Recovering the vitality of the local; skepticism of the “universal.”"],"contents":["Robert Kroetsch and Brian Edwards\n[00:00:01] \nDiscuss What the Crow Said (General Publishing, 1978) [as part of a course “Literary Processes” through Deakin University].\nRobert Kroetsch\n[00:28:55]\nMentions \"Spending the Morning on the Beach\". \nRobert Kroetsch  \n[00:42:00]\nReads \"What the Crow Said\"."],"Note":["[{\"note\":\"\",\"type\":\"\"}]"],"Related_works":["[{\"url\":\"\",\"citation\":\"Kroetsch, What the Crow Said (1978)\"}]"],"_version_":1853670558517952512,"timestamp":"2026-01-07T15:00:02.734Z","score":2.4930124},{"id":"8336","cataloger_name":["Leah,Van Dyk"],"partnerInstitution":["University of Calgary"],"collection_source_collection":["Robert Kroetsch fonds"],"source_collection_label":["Robert Kroetsch fonds"],"collection_contributing_unit":["University of Calgary, Archives and Special Collections"],"source_collection_uri":[""],"collection_image_url":[""],"collection_source_collection_id":[""],"persistent_url":["https://searcharchives.ucalgary.ca/robert-kroetsch-fonds"],"item_title":["1+2 - Author, author"],"item_title_source":["Transcribed from the artifact"],"item_language":["English"],"item_production_context":["Broadcast"],"item_identifiers":["[29.3]"],"rights":["In Copyright (InC)"],"rights_notes":["Enters Public Domain at the end of 2058"],"creator_names":["Kroetsch, Robert"],"creator_names_search":["Kroetsch, Robert"],"creators":["[{\"url\":\"http://viaf.org/viaf/120613489\",\"name\":\"Kroetsch, Robert\",\"dates\":\"1927-2011\",\"notes\":\"\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Author\",\"Performer\"]}]"],"contributors_names":["Hawkes, John"],"contributors_names_search":["Hawkes, John"],"contributors":["[{\"url\":\"\",\"name\":\"Hawkes, John \",\"dates\":\"\",\"notes\":\"\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Performer\"]}]"],"performer_name":["Hawkes, John "],"Performance_Date":[1988],"material_description":["[{\"side\":\"A\",\"image\":\"\",\"other\":\"\",\"extent\":\"1/8 inch\",\"AV_types\":\"Audio\",\"tape_brand\":\"Scotch\",\"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\":\"\",\"other_physical_description\":\"Includes music and sound effects.\"}]"],"material_designations":["Cassette"],"physical_compositions":["Magnetic Tape"],"recording_type":["Analogue"],"AV_type":["Audio"],"digital_description":["[{\"file_url\":\"\",\"file_path\":\"\",\"filename\":\"RK_Acc_775_04.25.29-3\",\"channel_field\":\"\",\"sample_rate\":\"\",\"duration\":\"T00:23:30\",\"precision\":\"\",\"size\":\"387.26 MB\",\"bitrate\":\"\",\"encoding\":\"\",\"contents\":\"\",\"notes\":\"\",\"title\":\"\",\"credit\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"content_type\":\"\",\"featured\":\"\",\"public_access_url\":\"\"}]"],"Dates":["[{\"date\":\"1988\",\"type\":\"Performance Date\",\"notes\":\"Dates supplied through research for copyright.\",\"source\":\"\"}]"],"Location":["[{\"url\":\"\",\"venue\":\"CBC Radio\",\"notes\":\"\",\"address\":\"Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada\",\"latitude\":\"\",\"longitude\":\"\"}]"],"Address":["Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada"],"Venue":["CBC Radio"],"City":["Winnipeg, Manitoba"],"content_notes":["Readings are excerpts of Hawkes' novels with and introductions/interpretations by Robert Kroetsch. \n- Opens with introduction by Robert Kroetsch.

Robert Kroetsch begins speaking at 2:11. The last time he was in the building was fifteen years ago doing research for Badlands, and is going to read from Badlands as a sort of thank you. First came upon the material by accident while travelling around Alberta, the kind of story he likes to parody in his writing, but through the archive came to have a sympathy for the men. Reads the beginning and the end, narrated by the daughter of William Dawe.\n- “Seed Catalogue”: Reflection on uncle asking “don’t you understand anything?” Robert Kroetsch notes that he’s been writing poems ever since trying to understand, and that perhaps he was right\n- “Delphi”: The only place where the oracle spoke in a human, female voice. There are four voices in this poem: Robert Kroetsch, quotes from Pausanias, commentary by Sir James Fraser, poem called “The Eggplant Poems.”\n- Excerpts: Using country music, the “hurting song.” Short prose entries that look like diary entries, intrigued by the authority that we grant to the diary entry.\n- Excerpts: anecdote on writers spending a good deal of their time travelling - [00:40:40] \n- Advice: Suppressed stories of his mother, a photograph given to him of his mother produced all these poems.\n- Question period: The questions are not very discernable. First question about what he is writing, Robert Kroetsch answers “not really,” that he is writing a novel that is unendable and not about the prairies, also his study of narrative. Second question, going back to Athens and Greece. Notes that he goes back quite frequently as he is married to a Greek woman. Third question about Advice as very different from his other writing. Robert Kroetsch responds that his voice between Field Notes (as personal) and Advice (as a persona) are in fact very different. Fourth question indiscernible, Robert Kroetsch responds that he doesn’t believe that poetry is dead, that poetry ought to be accessible to all. Fifth question indiscernible, Robert Kroetsch responds that this period of reading may be an aberration in the history of language and that we may go back to more elaborate readings. A return to the hearing of poems instead of the reading of poems.\n"],"contents":["Robert Kroetsch\n[00:04:33]\nReads excerpts from Badlands.\nRobert Kroetsch\n[00:14:20]\nReads excerpts from Field Notes.\nRobert Kroetsch\n[00:15:30]\nReads from \"Seed Catalogue\".\nRobert Kroetsch\n[00:20:30]\nReads from \"Delphi Commentary\".\nRobert Kroetsch\n[00:35:27]\nReads excerpts from the Real World.\nRobert Kroetsch\n[00:44:12]\nReads excerpts from the end of Advice to My Friends."],"Note":["[{\"note\":\"\",\"type\":\"\"}]"],"Related_works":["[{\"url\":\"\",\"citation\":\"Badlands; Field Notes; Excerpts from the Real World; Advice to My Friends\"}]"],"_version_":1853670558525292545,"timestamp":"2026-01-07T15:00:02.734Z","score":2.4930124},{"id":"8378","cataloger_name":["Leah,Van Dyk"],"partnerInstitution":["University of Calgary"],"collection_source_collection":["Robert Kroetsch fonds"],"source_collection_label":["Robert Kroetsch fonds"],"collection_contributing_unit":["University of Calgary, Archives and Special Collections"],"source_collection_uri":[""],"collection_image_url":[""],"collection_source_collection_id":[""],"persistent_url":["https://searcharchives.ucalgary.ca/robert-kroetsch-fonds"],"item_title":["Fine Lines #87, Robert Kroetsch interviews Dennis Cooley"],"item_title_source":["Transcribed from the artifact"],"item_title_note":["Fine Lines program, listing contents of recording."],"item_language":["English"],"item_production_context":["Broadcast"],"item_identifiers":["[29.12]"],"rights":["In Copyright (InC)"],"rights_notes":["Enters Public Domain at the end of 2052"],"creator_names":["Kroetsch, Robert"],"creator_names_search":["Kroetsch, Robert"],"creators":["[{\"url\":\"http://viaf.org/viaf/120613489\",\"name\":\"Kroetsch, Robert\",\"dates\":\"1927-2011\",\"notes\":\"\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Interviewer\"]}]"],"contributors_names":["Cooley, Dennis"],"contributors_names_search":["Cooley, Dennis"],"contributors":["[{\"url\":\"http://viaf.org/viaf/32011503\",\"name\":\"Cooley, Dennis\",\"dates\":\"-1944\",\"notes\":\"\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Speaker\"]}]"],"Speaker_name":["Cooley, Dennis"],"Performance_Date":[2002],"material_description":["[{\"side\":\"A and B\",\"image\":\"\",\"other\":\"\",\"extent\":\"1/8 inch\",\"AV_types\":\"Audio\",\"tape_brand\":\"Unknown acetate\",\"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\":\"\",\"other_physical_description\":\"\"}]"],"material_designations":["Cassette"],"physical_compositions":["Magnetic Tape"],"recording_type":["Analogue"],"AV_type":["Audio"],"digital_description":["[{\"file_url\":\"\",\"file_path\":\"\",\"filename\":\"RK_Acc_775_04.25.29-12\",\"channel_field\":\"\",\"sample_rate\":\"\",\"duration\":\"T01:02:49\",\"precision\":\"\",\"size\":\"1.01 GB\",\"bitrate\":\"\",\"encoding\":\"\",\"contents\":\"\",\"notes\":\"\",\"title\":\"\",\"credit\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"content_type\":\"\",\"featured\":\"\",\"public_access_url\":\"\"}]"],"Dates":["[{\"date\":\"2002\",\"type\":\"Performance Date\",\"notes\":\"Dates supplied through research for copyright.\",\"source\":\"\"}]"],"Location":["[{\"url\":\"\",\"venue\":\"CFUV Radio, University of Victoria\",\"notes\":\"\",\"address\":\"Victoria, British Columbia, Canada\",\"latitude\":\"\",\"longitude\":\"\"}]"],"Address":["Victoria, British Columbia, Canada"],"Venue":["CFUV Radio, University of Victoria"],"City":["Victoria, British Columbia"],"content_notes":["- Introduction of Robert Kroetsch and Cooley by Jim Andrews.\n- Discussion of his article “The Vernacular Muse.”\n- Reading of “Making Up” from Bloody Jack to use as an argument in relation to “Vernacular.” The centrality of pun. \n- Erotics between the poet and language, “You With the Stars…”. A great deal of silence in these poems, words surrounded by silence. Working off pauses and spaces.\n- “Strobic”: sitting in a barber’s chair, observing. Hearing and seeing. To what extent is the poem about poetry? To some extent every poem as metapoetic/metaliterary.\n- The range of subject matter in Cooley’s poems. What are the possible forms for poetry in our time? The challenge of writing is to find models to describe experience. Reading of other poems, that poems beget poems. Cooley argues that all poems are love poems (Robert Kroetsch wouldn’t go that far).\n- “Curse”: Someone arguing that Cooley only sees women as machines in Bloody Jack, writing this poem in response to what he considers a “pretty simple-minded” reading.\n- The poem almost forgetting its subject, getting caught up in the language\n- Excerpt from Cooley’s essay “Vernacular Muse” read by Andrews.\n- Crisis of audience in Canadian literature\n- “Sonia”: gains power by virtue of her sexuality.
