a paradise which we have lost now\n\t\t045\tIn the 50s – nostalgia for the city\n\t\t056\tThe system using us as raw materials\n\t\t064\tKyger : What is the point?  G.S. – The point is that I accept nostalgia\n\t\t067\tJ.K. – you sense a great nostalgia … some kind of fresh imprint that you get from something that’s not really clear… a fuzzy imprint – your influences and the feelings you feel then -\n\t\t074\tJ.K. : Jack Spicer was a poet that was a strong person, wasn’t a published poet – hard to see clearly what’s gone into your life\n\t\t090\tG.S. – publishing serial poems as books – Spicer’s et al – an innovation.  Those books represented competitiveness – desire to be known.\n\t\t108\tQuestion (?) – Is the movement that went on in SF in 50 – some odd – supposed to be reconstructed in 70? No.\n\t\t111\tG.G. – It seems as though we’ve learned quite a bit – We’ve done away with getting together to talk and reading together – with getting our books published and almost every poet from SF in ’60 and ’61 scattered\n\t\t123\tAll over the world.  Battle between Jack and Robert over the great world\n\t\t133\tEbbe Borregaard (?) Don’t think he (Spicer) ever told me, “son, keep out of the great world.”\n\t\t135\tJ.K.: Poetry up to that time had been in academic world – when things started to change, new image of what poetry was about, Jack’s position was, keep it right in the living room, don’t get close to the academic, don’t publish – when it became time to move on out, becomes a little difficult\n\t\t147\tJ.K. : This afternoon being in an academic environment seemed to be a little bit risky…\n\t\t152\tJ.K. : Where music is at today, has a much truer audience than where poets are in the university…\n\t\t159\tG.G. : Poets in Vancouver not connected to any institution but their own…\n\t\t176\tMarc Caccione (?) – Poetry (?) like a used car lot – a subjective existence.  J.K. – Don’t despair – just do it.  Forget about the analogy.\n\t\t195\tE.B. : Just despair all the harder – there’s no end, you know.  Know R. Crumb?  Pfeiffer – I think that’s where poetry is.  Despair Comics\n\t\t212\tJ.K. – I thought we should start to read or something…\n\t\t214\tE.B. – invites someone to read\n\t\t222\tJ.K. speaks of reading in S.F. – everyone talking about Eastern mind – no rationalism – thought must be something to do with rational mind – so wrote piece on Descarte’s Discourse on Method – a clue to the Western mind – we just think it makes sense\n\t\t242\tReads “Descartes and the Splendor of a Real Drama of Everyday Life in 6 parts.”\n\t\t380\tEnds\n\t\t388\tSound ends abruptly \n\t\t430\tSound picks up again\n\t\t439\tGwen Hauser (?) speaks\n\t\t448\tG.H. (?) reads – “Of course I’m afraid of you.”\n\t\t473\tReads “Everybody must have a vision/some are smaller than others.”\n\t\t500\tReads “A Circle Goes Round a Man and Woman.”\n\t\t517\tMarc Caccione reads “Mooching Ferns”\n\t\t667\tM.C. reads “Hail North Beach”\n\t\t760\tJohn Walker reads 8 poems on cormorants off the coast of Sechelt\n\t\t838\tJ.W. reads Big City Shaman\n\t\t862\tReads “The stone shutters wrought close to the countered gate”\n\t\t959\tReads Babyland Blues\n\t\t980\tSound breaks off"],"Note":["[{\"note\":\"Liner Notes: SF/Vancouver Poets March 9, 1970 Stanley, Kyger, Stockholder Side 1: 31:40 Side 2 31:35\",\"type\":\"General\"},{\"note\":\"No one is introduced on the recording\",\"type\":\"General\"}]"],"Related_works":["[{\"url\":\"\",\"citation\":\"\"}]"],"_version_":1853670554406486020,"timestamp":"2026-01-07T14:59:58.804Z","score":2.2837067},{"id":"6031","cataloger_name":["Isabella,Wang"],"partnerInstitution":["Simon Fraser University"],"collection_source_collection":["Reading in BC Collection"],"source_collection_label":["Reading in BC Collection"],"collection_contributing_unit":["SFU Library"],"source_collection_uri":[""],"collection_image_url":[""],"collection_source_collection_description":["Reading in BC collection was assembled during the late 1970s and ‘80s.
