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":["Warren Tallman's compilation from May 15, 1990 of Adeena Karasick's four different readings of \"Manipulating Stairs\" "],"item_title_source":["J-card and Recording"],"item_language":["English"],"item_production_context":["Documentary recording"],"item_identifiers":["[]"],"rights":["Copyright Not Evaluated (CNE)"],"creator_names":["Tallman, Warren","Browne, Colin","Karasick, Adeena"],"creator_names_search":["Tallman, Warren","Browne, Colin","Karasick, Adeena"],"creators":["[{\"url\":\"http://viaf.org/viaf/11397708\",\"name\":\"Tallman, Warren\",\"dates\":\"1921-1994\",\"notes\":\"\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Speaker\",\"Recordist\"]},{\"url\":\"http://viaf.org/viaf/105886216\",\"name\":\"Browne, Colin\",\"dates\":\"1946-\",\"notes\":\"Colin Browne reading Fred Wah \\\"Music at the Heart of Thinking\\\" at Langara College Theater on June 1 \",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Reader\"]},{\"url\":\"http://viaf.org/viaf/76188856\",\"name\":\"Karasick, Adeena\",\"dates\":\"1965-\",\"notes\":\"On the first side, Adeena Karasick reading \\\"Manipulating Stairs\\\" in Cranbrook;
