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":["Victoria Reading by John Pass, Warren Tallman, Jenny [Shaw/Boucher], Bill Bissett, and David McFadden at Open Space Gallery on February 10, 1979"],"item_title_source":["J-card and Recording"],"item_language":["English"],"item_production_context":["Documentary recording"],"item_identifiers":["[]"],"rights":["Copyright Not Evaluated (CNE)"],"creator_names":["Bissett, Bill","McFadden, David","Pass, John","Tallman, Warren","Jenny Shaw"],"creator_names_search":["Bissett, Bill","McFadden, David","Pass, John","Tallman, Warren","Jenny Shaw"],"creators":["[{\"url\":\"http://viaf.org/viaf/96127023\",\"name\":\"Bissett, Bill\",\"dates\":\"1939-\",\"notes\":\"\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Performer\",\"Reader\"]},{\"url\":\"http://viaf.org/viaf/7405434\",\"name\":\"McFadden, David\",\"dates\":\"1940-2018\",\"notes\":\"\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Speaker\",\"Reader\"]},{\"url\":\"http://viaf.org/viaf/29611411\",\"name\":\"Pass, John\",\"dates\":\"1947-\",\"notes\":\"\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Reader\",\"Speaker\"]},{\"url\":\"http://viaf.org/viaf/11397708\",\"name\":\"Tallman, Warren\",\"dates\":\"1921-1994\",\"notes\":\"\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Speaker\"]},{\"url\":\"\",\"name\":\"Jenny Shaw\",\"dates\":\"\",\"notes\":\"only Jenny's first name is written on j-card\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Reader\",\"-1\"]}]"],"contributors":["[]"],"Production_Date":[1979],"material_description":["[{\"side\":\"\",\"image\":\"../Uploads/12287/Warren Tallman Fonds_MsC 26.44_216.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\":\"216 Side A.mp3\",\"channel_field\":\"Stereo\",\"sample_rate\":\"44.1 kHz\",\"duration\":\"T01:03:16\",\"precision\":\"\",\"size\":\"57.9 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\":\"216 Side B.mp3\",\"channel_field\":\"Stereo\",\"sample_rate\":\"44.1 kHz\",\"duration\":\"T01:03:12\",\"precision\":\"\",\"size\":\"57.8 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\":\"\"}]"],"Dates":["[{\"date\":\"1979-02-10\",\"type\":\"Production Date\",\"notes\":\"\",\"source\":\"J-card\"}]"],"Location":["[{\"url\":\"https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/223294263\",\"venue\":\"Open Space Gallery\",\"notes\":\"\",\"address\":\"510, Fort Street, Chinatown, Downtown, Victoria, Capital Regional District, British Columbia, V8W 1E6, Canada\",\"latitude\":\"48.42519\",\"longitude\":\"-123.36921\"}]"],"Address":["510, Fort Street, Chinatown, Downtown, Victoria, Capital Regional District, British Columbia, V8W 1E6, Canada"],"Venue":["Open Space Gallery"],"City":["Victoria, British Columbia"],"Note":["[]"],"Related_works":["[]"],"_version_":1853670556701818880,"timestamp":"2026-01-07T15:00:00.983Z","score":6.352562}]
