Discussion ensues on this line of question regarding mental processes leading to Spicer’s ideas on the character of Merlin\n\t\t159\tQ: How are purity and Long Island Sound equated?\n\t\t160\tSpicer says that to identify yourself with the landscape is as stupid as identifying the Grail with purity – lengthy discussion of this idea\n\t\t209\tQ: What’s the difference between the grail in your serial poem and the moth in Robin’s serial poem?\n\t\t215\tSpicer replies that if the question had been put in threes, the grail, the moth, and the hunting of the snark, and the difference between them, then they are all collective things to be searched for.  Robin’s was immediate appearance, Spicer’s was, through poetics, Gawain’s idea of the empty cup, the full cup.  For Lewis Carroll, the snark is something that turns into a “boojum”\n\t\t243\tQuestion about Edwin Muir’s poems being similar to Jack Spicer’s (from Dorothy Livesay)\n\t\t266\tQ: How did the Australians get into the poem?\n\t\t270\tSpicer gives anecdote of Australian soldiers given defense of Greece by the British who moved out during the invasion by the Germans.  Ninety percent were killed while the British sustained few casualties\n\t\t299\tQ: Since that vessel the Grail is elusive and a mystery, is there a process on your part of what you were doing, with what the serial poem is not?  Is there a “not” process that works, a not naming it?\n\t\t307\tSpicer says that when he knew it was a grail poem, he didn’t make any effort to find it because he knew he wouldn’t find it himself.  He elaborates on this process\n\t\t327\tComment by audience member that he had thought of the poem as a poetics poem\n\t\t328\tSpicer thinks the poem goes into more of the human condition in relation to the divine taking the human.  Spicer digresses into an anecdote about Glastonbury, south of Chester (where Arthur is supposed to be buried) and an 18th century machine that could write poetry\n\t\t360\tA question about whether the forest Spicer tries to get through in his writing is the same forest that Robin Blaser talks about… the holy forest\n\t\t363\tSpicer says Blaser’s holy forest is a different forest from the grail forest, Spicer’s forest being closer to Dante’s, the human condition\n\t\t378\tQ: Doesn’t Blaser talk about getting lost in the Forest?\n\t\t380\tSpicer responds that the Forest need not be a Jungian symbol.  Further questions and answers regarding trees versus forest symbolism\n\t\t434\tA question about Spicer’s connection to Gatsby’s Long Island\n\t\t436\tSpicer says Gatsby’s Long Island is his; Gatsby’s forest is the forest of ashes\n\t\t452\tSpicer asks if the idea of the serial poem makes any sense to people\n\t\t453\tA question about the fixed order of each segment and whether Spicer changes it\n\t\t456\tSpicer says changes means the poet will be taken along his own path.  His dissatisfaction with “The book of Lancelot” lies in the fact that he is speaking through the poem\n\t\t480\tQuestioner comments that Stevens’ writings about his poetry are similar to Spicer’s; does that make him a serial; poet?\n\t\t482\tSpicer says Stevens had a map for his poetry\n\t\t503\tSpicer has become more distrustful of Stevens as people who dislike poetry become more enamored with Steven’s poetry\n\t\t514\tSpicer explains the meaning of the title “serial”; that you go from one point to another to another not really knowing where you are\n\t\t516\tGeneral discussion ensues around the choice of the word “serial”\n\t\t521\tSpicer says The Pickwick Papers in the novel term, is the only place where Dickens is completely free of a destination\n\t\t528\tSpicer on Mr. Jingle and stream of consciousness writing\n\t\t533\tQ: Does Naked Lunch relate to serial poetry?\n\t\t535\tSpicer says he doesn’t like Naked Lunch so he doesn’t think it is serial\n\t\t546\tQuestion about the flow of Spicer’s writing over nine months\n\t\t554\tSpicer discusses the writing process and answers questions on the issue of cutting, editing etc.\n\t\t570\tSpicer advises new writers to take chances and not revise; to go straight into the serial poem process\n\t\t575\tSpicer on baseball metaphor.  Spicer says he wasted much of his time on writing perfect little poems, resents this wasted time, and advises new poets to try the most complicated things and fall flat on your ass doing it\n\t\t589\tThe emphasis on craft in universities is a bunch of hogshit according to Spicer\n\t\t600\tSpicer on his nine-month writing process.  When a line comes up that is perfect, that is exactly what he wants, he stops for several hours and waits and waits\n\t\t638\tQuestioner suggests that the poem can be just a matter of chance.  Does Spicer re-read his poems?  Does he review them and then continue writing?  Isn’t a later reading of ideas from the poem just a chance association?\n\t\t653\tThe message may not be important, but you must read it again and again to find that out\n\t\t659\tSpicer says that if you’re good enough, you can act like a radio tube or a transmitter to get stuff from yourself\n\t\t665\tQuestion about Spicer’s first serial poems, The Elegies*\n\t\t669\tSpicer describes his first serial poems written over a number of years.  Discussion emerges around challenging the concept of the serial poem process, and one questioner in particular suggests that revision and input would create a more complete poem\n\t\t743\tQuestioner suggests Spicer equates passivity with unconscious skill, and uses music as an example of where a mastered skill can allow composers to create with the aid of years of practice\n\t\t762\tSpicer seems to be cut off and tape resumes at a later spot in the discussion during which Spicer counsels against revision\n\t\t787\tQuestioner asks if Spicer’s preparation is perhaps not more conscious than Spicer wants it to be, due to years of mastering the technique of poetry\n\t\t797\tSpicer says this is a conditioned idea, as in painting, that an artist has to be trained in representation before painting an abstract work\n\t\t816\tSame questioner pursues this issue with an analogy to jazz\n\t\t859\tSpicer counters argument on form by advising students to fill their minds with reading and ideas, rather than studying form\n\t\t864\tSpicer refers to San Francisco poet, Jim Alexander (“The Jack Rabbit Poem” published in J).  Alexander uses a technique of breaking words, but because he can’t spell, it is difficult to know when certain misspellings are intentional or not.  Yet mastering the language and mastering difficult poetic forms are two different things\n\t\t907\tAudience member mentions Crane’s Voyages Two, and suggests that Crane could not have written the blank verse without the openness Spicer talks about\n\t\t934\tSame questioner asks if the enjoyment of poetry isn’t in seeing someone who understands language do what he wants with it and control it because he’s practised?\n\t\t943\tSpicer argues that poetry should not be meant as a pleasure for the audience, pleasures are incidental and unrelated to the poem\n\t\t959\tDispute is settled by Spicer suggesting the disagreement lies in what a young poet should focus on\n\t\t970\tSpicer says the young poet should focus on keeping his personality out of the poem and letting something else come in\n\t\t999\tPoetry is not for pleasure.  Spicer is not sure what poetry is for, but he is trying to pass on messages through his poems.  A long debate follows among audience and Spicer on the question of pleasure in art and baseball\nTwo\t\t\tBegins: question of pleasure in art and baseball\n\t\t047\tA question begins on the poems that Spicer throws away, that are conscious poems\n\t\t059\tSpicer responds to a question about serial poetry pre-20th century\n\t\t065\tIn ruling yourself out, does this have anything to do with Eliot’s idea of impersonality and getting rid of personality?\n\t\t066\tSpicer refers to Dante and Horace as the first to know this idea, it was not a “discovery” of Eliot’s\n\t\t071\tQuestioners ask about the issue of craft and Spicer’s apparent antipathy to the idea\n\t\t073\tSpicer expounds on craft and the artist\n\t\t088\tA tussle in the audience over one questioner imposing his categories on Jack’s poem, especially the term meditative.  Another audience member says this a way of talking about them so that he doesn’t see what they are\n\t\t093\tSpicer interrupts to talk about the use of “meditative”\n\t\t107\tQuestioner believes Spicer is more interested in meditation than poetry, in the Ignatian sense\n\t\t109\tSpicer agrees – says that’s the first thing for the poet, especially for the beginning poet\n\t\t118\tSpicer says it’s a question of what is the first thing to reach, you do the simplest thing first – empty yourself out\n\t\t146\tEnd of tape, Side two"],"score":1.1083025},{"id":"5376","cataloger_name":["Mozhgan,Nourafkan"],"partnerInstitution":["Simon Fraser University"],"collection_source_collection":["Reading in BC Collection"],"source_collection_label":["Reading in BC Collection"],"collection_contributing_unit":["SFU Library"],"source_collection_uri":[""],"collection_image_url":[""],"collection_source_collection_description":["Reading in BC collection was assembled during the late 1970s and ‘80s.

He asks the audience to imagine that he has started to write a poem that he is one quarter to halfway through and invites questions on the process of this poem and how he would treat a poem he was starting now\n\t\t093\tSomeone asks what Spicer is worried about\n\t\t094\tQuestions begin before the reading of the poem-in-process beginning with someone asking if he wants the audience to write his poem.  Spicer responds, no, but that it is a possible problem when reading an unfinished work\n\t\t095\tSpicer responds with a discussion of the previous Vancouver poems he wrote, one of which was a section of a long poem called The Book of Magazine Verse\n\t\t122\tSpicer describes his numbering and sectioning process\n\t\t145\tSpicer thought of writing poems for magazines that wouldn’t print them.  General laughter\n\t\t139\tQuestioner asks if at this point he sees several directions at once\n\t\t160\tSpicer says he tries many directions and that this book, although good, is not that good… it may go down the drain\n\t\t173\tThe first of many questions about the mind being an empty vessel\n\t\t188\tSpicer considers the necessity of the element of chance in a poet’s work\n\t\t189\tQ; Is it possible that the voice could tell you the third part first?\n\t\t212\tSpicer says he’s never changed chronological order, but it is possible and he would like to.  But then whatever you’d like to do, is a very bad idea in a poem\n\t\t220\tSpicer on the poet’s own rules.  Rules can be arbitrary you can have rules that you cheat from, you can change the rules\n\t\t238\tAre you cheating at this game if you use the dream?\n\t\t241\tSpicer explains this question is in reference to Vancouver poems that were almost edited directly from drams he had in Vancouver in May, 1965\n\t\t249\tSpicer thinks a dream is the same as any other piece of furniture in the room.  But he doesn’t see the dream as being a meditation thing\n\t\t285\tQuestions about dictated thoughts – where, when, how they came to Spicer\n\t\t347\tQ: Is dictation usually in words or images or combinations of these?\n\t\t348\tSpicer says it comes never in images, sometimes in rhythms\n\t\t350\tDorothy Livesay interjects that Hopkins heard the music and the rhythm and finally had to write The Wreck of the Deutschland\n\t\t354\tSpicer says his Arthur poem mentions the noise in the head of the poem which dictates itself in rhythm, which always is in rhythm you don’t want\n\t\t363\tSpicer says you can always get poems if you know how to empty yourself\n\t\t377\tQ: Where does the craft and the intelligence of the poet enter into the poem?\n\t\t380\tSpicer says intelligence is part of the furniture and craft is something you want to get out of the house so enough ghosts can get into the house.  You have to learn to take out the majority of your craft\n\t\t396\tSpicer turns to the poems (from Book of Magazine Verse) “Two Poems for The Nation”\n\t\t416\tEnds\n\t\t417\t“Six Poems for Poetry Chicago”\n\t\t425\tTwo\n\t\t437\tThree\n\t\t439\tTape fades out and seems to begin again at 425 (above)\n\t\t449\tFour\n\t\t457\tFive\n\t\t472\tEnd\n\t\t473\tTISH Poems 1\n\t\t482\tTwo\n\t\t489\tThree\n\t\t498\tEnd\n\t\t499\t“Four Poems for Ramparts”\n\t\t521\tThree\n\t\t529\tFour\n\t\t540\tEnds\n\t\t541\tFour Poems for The St. Louis Sporting News\n\t\t551\tTwo\n\t\t560\tThree\n\t\t569\tFour\n\t\t578\tEnds\n\t\t579\t“Poems for the Vancouver Festival”\n\t\t604\tTape ends in the middle of #3\n\t\t\tContinued on Side Two\nTwo\t\t005\tSide two begins mid-reading by Spicer\n\t\t013\tQuestions begin with wanting to know how long Spicer had been working on this poem\n\t\t018\tSpicer discusses writing The Vancouver poems in Vancouver.  Spicer says the current poems are in a mess, not knowing what they want to be\n\t\t056\tSpicer asks what is the audience’s reaction to the poems just read (presumably the Vancouver poems) – do the voices come through?\n\t\t058\tVarious subjective comments from audience\n\t\t113\tSpicer feels the poem will move closer toward building the city instead of the celebration of the city as the Textbook of Poetry did\n\t\t149\tJamie sees the Vancouver Poems as being intimately connected wi5th the baseball image of the city – the diamond image connected with the city’s pearl in the sea image\n\t\t175\tSpicer says he wrote the poem after going to “that awful place where the ferry boats are” – (Horseshoe Bay)\n\t\t188\tSpicer explains his use of the term ‘measure’ as it relates to the city and walking through it\n\t\t253\tQuestioner argues that there must be a voice which is inherently that of the poet and not the furniture cluttering the mind\n\t\t255\tSpicer disagrees\n\t\t276\tSpicer goes into music and Stravinsky to elaborate his point\n\t\t302\tQuestioner asks if not all of the questions directed at Spicer contain a doubt that Spicer’s skills, personality, accomplishment with language are ruled out when the upside is dictating the poem.  If people are not wondering if you’re there, Jack Spicer?\n\t\t313\tSpicer agrees that people don’t believe him, but that they may believe him if there were to try it\n\t\t329\tSpicer is asked – again – if he sees the dictation of the poem as a meditative process instead of some technique of poetry\n\t\t330\tSpicer says Cezanne (his favourite painter) likely never meditated a day in his life, but he managed to have his last 10 years of painting pure of anything which he intended which is something that Kandinsky (nice painter) never did\n\t\t339\tSpicer points out that he doesn’t expect anyone to take his word on it, but he would like to see people experiment with it\n\t\t347\tSpicer goes back to the discussion of his mind being a blank as he works.  It is an impossible process to make your mind a blank – He points to the process of playing an instrument as an example\n\t\t363\tInterjection from listener claiming Spicer to have given the best and most accurate description of the production of art he has ever heard\n\t\t376\tSame speaker says Copland once remarked that the best performances always are those just this side of disaster.  He says this is so much like Spicer’s idea of taking a change and risking it\n\t\t386\tSpicer says Ernst Block came to CAL and was pleased by the fact that Toscanini said he wouldn’t play anything by Block because it was too bloody.  Bloch realized he had to play the dance between the tensions of bloody and too bloody\n\t\t403\tQ: How do you judge what comes through to be a true message, what do you want to say?\n\t\t407\tSpicer uses the analogy of baseball again calling the poet a catcher who likes to think of himself as a pitcher.  Diverges into a baseball pitching anecdote denoting how a pitcher gets pleased with something he’s done\n\t\t457\tQ: about the magazine verse poem and Spicer’s comment about being becalmed or not becalmed\n\t\t474\tSpicer asks what people thought about the lemon.  Discussion ensues about oranges and lemons and oval as the wrong description of a lemon\n\t\t515\tStudent remarks that it seemed like a Romantic poem compared to the Heads of the Town Up to the Aether which gave Spicer’s bitterness\n\t\t526\tSpicer asks if anyone saw the connection with the oranges and the last baseball poem\n\t\t531\tSpicer says Abner Doubleday was one of the first inventors of baseball and the first president of the American Theosophical Society.  Debate continues as to whether baseball belongs to Vancouver, or to Canada, or not.  Discussion dissolves into laughter and general chaos.\n\t\t537\tDorothy Livesay suggests the poem is about Spicer, about the States, it’s not Canadian.

Spicer refers to Robin Blaser’s poetics and the similarities between their serial poems’ style\n\t\t050\tSpicer refers to Duncan’s poems “Medieval Scenes” (Selected Poems) and “The Opening of the Field” as his two best poems that are also “pure honest-to-god serial poems”\n\t\t066\tSpicer reflects on what a serial poem is.  First you have to know what it isn’t in order to determine what it is\n\t\t082\tYou have to go into a serial poem not knowing what you are doing.  You have to be tricked into it.  You can’t do what D.H. Lawrence did in Birds, Beasts and Flowers and say that this is a serial poem\n\t\t096\tA serial poem has to be chronological\n\t\t107\tSpicer says Stevens’ Harmonium is closer to the serial poem.  His poems written over four years do connect and seem to proceed under their own laws\n\t\t117\tOlson and Pound are good examples of how the planned poem can get caught up in and become a serial poem.  Olson’s Maximus Poems changed as he began his writing\n\t\t140\tOlson started out as a man facing history and the poems have become something more than that, which Spicer is sure has scared Olson many times by the way that the poems go\n\t\t158\tThe real serial poem takes you on a path that you have no idea about, and which permits no looking backwards\n\t\t190\tSpicer says he wrote The Holy Grail being completely unsuspicious that what he started out to write would become a book of poems\n\t\t196\tWhen the first book was completed, Spicer experienced surprise at the form that took place in the book.  He discusses the voices in search of the Holy Grail and the Book of Percival\n\t\t227\tSpicer thinks what makes people (Duncan, Robin Blaser, himself) write serial poems is the fact of becoming focused on the individual part enough to have a better chance of being an empty vessel to be filled up by whatever is outside\n\t\t244\tSpicer discusses his process of writing the “dictated poem” in one sitting to avoid the poet later imposing a voice on the poem\n\t\t253\tSpicer is asked if in the meantime other poems are happening to him\n\t\t256\tSpicer responds that this is probably true, yet they rarely have anything to do with the poem, and can result in you dictating the path to the poem rather than the poem dictating to you\n\t\t290\tSpicer discusses “the Hunting of the Snark” as a narrative poem which in some ways resembles a serial poem\n\t\t299\tQuestioner notes that Spicer argues you cannot interfere with the pathway, you cannot look back.  Spicer interrupts question with a comment that the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice was an attempt to enter this concept into Greek poetry\n\t\t305\tQuestioner asks then when do you know you’re on the wrong path?\n\t\t313 \tSpicer responds by discussing his process with his “textbook of poetry”.  (The Heads of the Town, Up to the Author, (Homage to Creeley)\n\t\t326\tSpicer talks about Yeats coming closer to the serial poem than most other poets\n\t\t330\tSpicer says cheating at this game is permissible as long as it’s done at the right time\n\t\t339\tSpicer introduces The Holy Grail by referencing poems by Tennyson (Idylls of the King)\n\t\t349\tSpicer reads from The Holy Grail\n\t\t426\tPoem 4 fades out on recording and fades in again at Poem 5\n\t\t476\tSide one ends at Poem #6\nTwo\t\t007\tSide two begins at start of Poem 6\n\t\t342\tEnd of reading of The Holy Grail\n\t\t347\tSpicer invites questions about things not understood in the poem\n\t\t358\tQuestion asked if the medium of dictating ended after “The Book of Arthur”\n\t\t359\tSpicer says the dictation about the death of Arthur had to end with his death\n\t\t368\tWho are the Tony(s) in the poem?\n\t\t368\tSpicer responds that proper names are a disturbance in the poem that must be addressed then left behind\n\t\t383\tQuestion about the reference to ocean in “the Book of Lancelot”\n\t\t385\tSpicer talks about the reference in terms of Irish versus non-Irish and a lack of an ocean off the Irish Coast.  The ocean is always at the outside, the periphery of the legend although the Grail legend does not mention an ocean\n\t\t392\tWho was the Old Flash?\n\t\t392\tSpicer says it was a Frankie Trish quotation from a baseball game\n\t\t397\tQuestioner says he’s at a loss with  The Book of Lancelot, seventh poem\n\t\t399\tIn response to Spicer’s “why”, questioner says he has problem with the horse being called “Dada”\n\t\t400\tSpicer says the Book of Lancelot is the most laboured.  (Dada refers to the word hobby horse chosen by the Dadaists).  Spicer says many things in this Book are radically wrong, and the poet is conscious of himself during the poem.  The Book of Guinevere, however rescues it\n\t\t412\tSpicer repeats that Guinevere is a bitch and questioner asks why he keeps saying that\n\t\t423\tSpicer says the book took nine months to write and that all mammals have different gestation periods, all books do too\n\t\t438\tSpicer explains the Foolkiller, as a Western American Story meant to frighten children\n\t\t456\tSpicer discusses character of Percival as the best person in the Grail story\n\t\t465\tSpicer found it annoying when the character of Percival entered the dictation because he thought the poem was finished\n\t\t473\tTape Side two ends mid-sentence"],"score":1.1083025},{"id":"5417","cataloger_name":["Ben,Joseph"],"partnerInstitution":["Simon Fraser University"],"collection_source_collection":["Reading in BC Collection"],"source_collection_label":["Reading in BC Collection"],"collection_contributing_unit":["SFU Library"],"source_collection_uri":[""],"collection_image_url":[""],"collection_source_collection_description":["Reading in BC collection was assembled during the late 1970s and ‘80s.

e.g., “metrical” in Olson’s sense of the word\n\t\t057\tWilliams’ large focus “on measure” and the difficulties he experienced after his strokes\n\t\t078\tCreeley relates how Williams’ concerns have affected his feelings about Pound, Olson, Zukosfsky, and others\n\t\t096\tWilliams’ feelings about the Russian cosmonaut’s orbit of the Earth\n\t\t110\tCreeley asks audience for feedback on what is meant by “measure”; response: Williams himself did not seem to know\n\t\t126\tWilliams’ reaction to Olson and vice versa\n\t\t143\tOlson’s “Projected Verse” essay\n\t\t173\tCreeley says “if anything is, then all things are”, relates this idea to poetry\n\t\t197\tCreeley’s use of the word measure\n\t\t211\tComments from Robert Duncan on measuring one’s measure while one is intoxicated\n\t\t277\tComments from Robert Duncan on measuring one’s measure while one is intoxicated\n\t\t343\t“Writing somehow doesn’t count”, says Creeley\n\t\t374\tDiscussion of numbers and counting as measures\n\t\t410\tDuncan speaks about the patterns in Pound’s “Rock Drill” Cantos\n\t\t456\tDuncan speaks about the crudity of “conscious numbers” as opposed to the complexity of “unconscious numbers” a “loosed mode”\n\t\t495\tCreeley discusses the “numbers” he uses in his poems\n\t\t514\tDuncan brings up the counted syllables in Williams’ work; Creeley discusses Tomlinson’s use of Williams’ style of syllabic verse\n\t\t562\tAudience member refers to a statement on the sonnet form by Zukofsky; Duncan comments\n\t\t605\tCreeley gets back to statement, “Writing somehow doesn’t count”; focuses on word “somehow”\n\t\t635\tAudience members enter into debate about whether arithmetical counting is necessary in poetry\n\t\t777\tCreeley discusses the many possibilities with poems that are consciously and ostensibly “measured” (or metred) by the writer\n\t\t864\tCreeley refers to Olson’s “testing and missing some proof”;
