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":["Adeena Karasick and Warren Tallman's conversation and interview at Royal Scott Hotel, Victoria on May 20 and 23, 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","Karasick, Adeena"],"creator_names_search":["Tallman, Warren","Karasick, Adeena"],"creators":["[{\"url\":\"http://viaf.org/viaf/11397708\",\"name\":\"Tallman, Warren\",\"dates\":\"1921-1994\",\"notes\":\"\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Interviewer\",\"Speaker\"]},{\"url\":\"http://viaf.org/viaf/76188856\",\"name\":\"Karasick, Adeena\",\"dates\":\"1965-\",\"notes\":\"\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Speaker\"]}]"],"contributors":["[]"],"Production_Date":[1990],"material_description":["[{\"side\":\"\",\"image\":\"../Uploads/11361/Warren Tallman Fonds_MsC 26.42_125.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\":\"MSC26-125-SideA.mp3\",\"channel_field\":\"Stereo\",\"sample_rate\":\"44.1 kHz\",\"duration\":\"T00.47:27\",\"precision\":\"\",\"size\":\"49.8 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\":\"MSC26-125-SideB.mp3\",\"channel_field\":\"Stereo\",\"sample_rate\":\"44.1 kHz\",\"duration\":\"T00:47:24\",\"precision\":\"\",\"size\":\"50.3 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\":\"1990-05-20\",\"type\":\"Production Date\",\"notes\":\"\",\"source\":\"J-card\"},{\"date\":\"1990-05-23\",\"type\":\"Production Date\",\"notes\":\"\",\"source\":\"J-card\"}]"],"Location":["[{\"url\":\"https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/136795954#map=19/48.42013/-123.37309\",\"venue\":\"[Royal Scot Hotel & Suites?]\",\"notes\":\"We are not sure if Royal Scot on the j-card refers to the location; it's just our assumption \",\"address\":\"Hotel Royal Scot Hotel & Suites, 425, Quebec Street, James Bay, Victoria, Capital Regional District, British Columbia, V8V 1X3, Canada\",\"latitude\":\"48.42006\",\"longitude\":\"-123.37313\"}]"],"Address":["Hotel Royal Scot Hotel & Suites, 425, Quebec Street, James Bay, Victoria, Capital Regional District, British Columbia, V8V 1X3, Canada"],"Venue":["[Royal Scot Hotel & Suites?]"],"City":["Quebec City, British Columbia"],"Note":["[{\"note\":\"Adeena Karasick and Warren Tallman talk about Adeena's editing job, the impact of academia on it, the linear women poet, and many other topics.
