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?

In fact, an interview is the product of the interviewer almost in a way that a poem is the product of the poet, because the answers are shaped to such a large extent by the question. And I think this is truer with the electronic media than it is with the print media, because you can take the beginning of a sentence that the person in the interview said at 7 o’clock and connect it with the end of a sentence that he said at 11, and make a completely new sentence neither actually said.”\n- [00:50:17] prefaces by saying it’s a silly little poem. “Plot for a Science Fiction Novel”\n- [00:56:50] Reflections on being a rogue when sick (paraphrasing Samuel Johnson). “X-ray”\n\n- “God sour…” – “Poem” published in Wind in a Rocky Country\n- “Beginning” – “Homecoming” published in Under the Ice\n- “Stars” and “Palomino” published in Playing the Jesus Game\n- “Bull Moose” – “The Execution” published in The Things Which Are\n- “Icarus” and “Footsteps” published in Bread, Wine and Salt\n- “Beard” – “Sits” published in I Might Not Tell Everybody This\n- “Red Wool” – “It’s Good” published in Smoked Glass\n- “Decline” – “Science Fiction” published in Between Tears and Laughter\n- “Mysterious” – “X-ray” published in The Mysterious \n- “Beginning” – “Homecoming” published in Under the Ice\n- “Stars” and “Palomino” published in Playing the Jesus Game\n- “Bull Moose” – “The Execution” published in The Things Which Are\n- “Icarus” and “Footsteps” published in Bread, Wine and Salt\n- “Beard” – “Sits” published in I Might Not Tell Everybody This\n- “Red Wool” – “It’s Good” published in Smoked Glass\n- “Decline” – “Science Fiction” published in Between Tears and Laughter\n- “Mysterious” – “X-ray” published in The Mysterious Naked Man\n\nSignificant pauses between poems.

John Masefield (poet laureate) commenting on Chamberlin pact with Hitler, quatrain praising action. Birney adds second stanza. Sent to Saturday Night, reply January 1939 from editor – “Dear Mr. Birney, It’s very neat and well-deserved, but I am trying to keep away from any note of bitterness about the Munich business.

West coast setting.\n- “Prologue”: 1941 Toronto. Birney on summer drilling, would drop into basement of Park Plaza which was a popular drinking place. Sir Charles G. D. Roberts frequented there and held a small court. Birney began scribing the people there to make a sort of 20th century Canterbury Tales – never followed through by reads from draft of what would have been the prologue. Birney comments on where these people are now throughout reading.\n- “Conrad”: 1942, a poem about Conrad Kane, a Canadian professional alpine guide who was born in Austria in 1883 and died in Canada in 1934. This is a free-wheeling ballad based on the fact from his own autobiography. Birney as a small boy was in one of Kane’s first skiing classes, and the first skiing class ever conducted in Banff.

It was the graduating night of his class of officers but Birney was in the hospital with a broken leg from a training accident. This poem was in a letter to his wife. Birney remarks “it’s not a very good poem, I’m afraid. But let’s see how it sounds.” Birney starts his reading over because he says “radio idiots” instead of “idiot radios” to which he laughs quite a bit and apologizes to the ‘audience’.\n- “Meet”: Written when Birney overseas, children’s poems to his four year old son. Birney was hung up on birds at the time, not sure his son ever read them but he enjoyed writing them. Language is quite dated (slang of the 1940s). The Killdeer; (after reading the Killdeer inserts footnote that he read a line incorrectly); The Nighthawk; The Woodpecker; The Loon; The Chickadee\n- Sonnets: six sonnets from overseas in wartime.\n- “In Praise”: Belgium 1944, it was a cold winter and Birney’s unit was under rocket fire. He received a delayed mail package with a magazine full of bad poetry by fashionable young London writers. Short imitation of them. \n- “Halifax”: When Birney was in Halifax between a hospital ship and a hospital train at the end of the war. Birney lost this poem and only rediscovered it a few days before this recording. It is an unfinished poem, Birney had been looking at Hugh MacLennan’s Barometer Rising in which he says “Halifax periodically sleeps between wars.”\n- “Restricted”: Summer 1945, Birney convalescing for a weekend at Lake Huron after leaving army. This is the first time he sees a sign ‘Gentiles Only’. The poem is in the voice of the man who puts up signs like this.

H. Lawrence’s Sons and Lovers. All of these books banned on the authority of one man, identity unknown, called The Examiner of Publications, in Ottawa. This person held so much power that neither he nor the minister who appointed him needed to report to parliament on their activities.

The ship was going to Nanaimo but had been chartered for the Woodward’s annual staff family picnic, everyone supposed to participate in singalong and no one want to. Tunes for the poem are from the song’s which were supposed to be sung, but Birney has changed the words a great deal. Birney notes he has to sing this, as its part of the fun.\n- “Student”: later 1950s, Birney was involved with student committee at UBC to create list of foreign writers to invite over at considerable expense while ignoring Canadian writers.\n- “untitled”: on the occasion of the retirement of one of his classics teachers, who was the father of six sons who all played on the UBC soccer team. Birney notes that this poem has to be sung, but he can’t really remember the tune.\n- “Architects”: Royal Architectural Institute of Canada asked Birney to write poems to accompany an exhibit for an architectural journal. Eight poems.\n- “Hazel”: translation of his poems into Spanish (with assistance). Birney quits halfway through reading, remarks that he needs more practice.\n- “Postprandial”: On February 9th, 1958, CBC broadcast in honour of E.J. Pratt.

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":1.4706429},{"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…”.

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. The audience looking at the object of the jar is very much like the audience of the poem, compelled yet somewhat resisting.\n- Connection between being a poet and working as an editor.

And if he could still remember and think and still hear he would be hearing the volley of muskets being fired over him, in his honour, and he would also hear the intoning of the so-called ‘Shortened Service for the Burial of the Dead as Approved for Use in the Canadian Army’. Which is very much like the Anglican - [?] service, but shorter. In the poem, then, you will hear bit by bit the phrases of the burial service with each phrase evoking in the dead soldier’s presumed memory what he ties in, how his mind would lead from that phrase if he were still alive and had a mind.”\n- “Mappemounde”: Written at the end of the war in Europe in 1945. Written in hospital in England, finished on hospital ship, ‘El Neil’, in the Atlantic sometime in May or June. Written in Anglo-Saxon meter. ‘Mappemounde’ is a Chaucerian word meaning ‘map of the world’ but it refers to the maps of Chaucer’s time which were square, had Europe and a bit of Asia completely surrounded by water, and depicted fierce mythological creatures in the corners of the map.\n- “Young Veterans”: Written in Toronto, summer 1945.\n- “Ulysses”: Toronto 1946.
