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 recording for Allen Ginsberg's eighth visit to Vancouver in October, 1989 and Charles Alexander talking about bpNichol's book \"Art Fact\" on November 2, 1990"],"item_title_source":["J-card and Recording"],"item_language":["English"],"item_production_context":["Documentary recording"],"item_identifiers":["[]"],"rights":["Copyright Not Evaluated (CNE)"],"creator_names":["Ginsberg, Allen","Tallman, Warren","Alexander, Charles","Nichol, bp (Barrie Phillip)"],"creator_names_search":["Ginsberg, Allen","Tallman, Warren","Alexander, Charles","Nichol, bp (Barrie Phillip)"],"creators":["[{\"url\":\"http://viaf.org/viaf/108417923\",\"name\":\"Ginsberg, Allen\",\"dates\":\"1926-1997\",\"notes\":\"\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Author\"]},{\"url\":\"http://viaf.org/viaf/11397708\",\"name\":\" Tallman, Warren\",\"dates\":\"1921-1994\",\"notes\":\"\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Speaker\"]},{\"url\":\"http://viaf.org/viaf/67941062\",\"name\":\"Alexander, Charles\",\"dates\":\"1954-\",\"notes\":\"\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Speaker\"]},{\"url\":\"http://viaf.org/viaf/76350280\",\"name\":\"Nichol, bp (Barrie Phillip)\",\"dates\":\"1944-1988\",\"notes\":\"\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Author\"]}]"],"contributors":["[]"],"Production_Date":[1990],"material_description":["[{\"side\":\"\",\"image\":\"../Uploads/12314/Warren Tallman Fonds_MsC 26.44_224.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\":\"224 Side A.mp3\",\"channel_field\":\"Stereo\",\"sample_rate\":\"44.1 kHz\",\"duration\":\"T00:23:53\",\"precision\":\"\",\"size\":\"25.8 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\":\"224 Side B.mp3\",\"channel_field\":\"Stereo\",\"sample_rate\":\"44.1 kHz\",\"duration\":\"T00:38:40\",\"precision\":\"\",\"size\":\"43 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\":\"1990-11-02\",\"type\":\"Production Date\",\"notes\":\"Charles Alexander Art Fact tape \",\"source\":\"J-card\"},{\"date\":\"1989-10\",\"type\":\"Production Date\",\"notes\":\"Warren Tallman mentions this date at 5:40 on the first side; he refers to this date as the time when Allen Ginsberg comes to Vancouver for the eighth time.\",\"source\":\"J-card\"}]"],"Location":["[{\"url\":\"https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/1852574\",\"venue\":\"\",\"notes\":\"\",\"address\":\"Vancouver, Metro Vancouver Regional District, British Columbia, Canada\",\"latitude\":\"49.2595\",\"longitude\":\"-123.1142\"}]"],"Address":["Vancouver, Metro Vancouver Regional District, British Columbia, Canada"],"City":["Vancouver, British Columbia"],"Note":["[{\"note\":\"Warren Tallman talks about Allen Ginsberg's various visits to Vancouver on side one.
