Gerry Gilbert is, as a lot of people we've had this year, is from the West Coast and has been involved for quite a while with an outfit in the coast that gobbles up your tax money called Intermedia [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q39079179], that's why the screen is there, something might happen there occasionally. Gerry was at one time the editor of a seminal West Coast publishing venture called Radio Free Rain Forest, and is the author of a series of books and things that are like books, as for instance, White Lunch which came out several years ago in Vancouver [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q24639] and Telephone Book which is published by Coach House Press, I think, no, Weed/Flower, sorry. David's also been published by Weed/Flower and the Coach House Press, and his forthcoming book is the second volume of the Big/Little Book novel, called The Great Canadian Sonnet with illustrations by a little-known London [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q92561] artist named Greg Curnoe [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5605459]. His next book is going to be called Poems Worth Knowing, a title that anyone from Ontario [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1904] or British Columbia [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1974] will know. What we're going to do is they're going to operate for a little while, and then when they feel the need for a break there will be a short intermission, like about ten minutes, then we'll proceed again with what, as they say, the second set. So I'm not going to be able to say that somebody's reading first and somebody's reading second but what I will be able to say is that the readers will be David McFadden and Gerry Gilbert.\\n \\nUnknown\\n00:02:39\\n[Cut or edit made in tape.

inspired the Canadian Tish movement and influenced the mid-20th century poetry scene in Canada. 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.

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.
