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":["bp Nichol and his \"Martyrology\" book celebration event organized by Warren Tallman at SFU, directed and broadcasted over Co-op Radio on November 1, 2, and 3 in 1990 as \"bp Nichol Special\""],"item_title_source":["Cassette and J-card"],"item_language":["English"],"item_production_context":["Broadcast"],"item_identifiers":["[]"],"rights":["Copyright Not Evaluated (CNE)"],"creator_names":["Lee, Dennis","Blaser, Robin","Alexander, Charles","Bridwell, Gene","Bowering, George","Phillips, David","The Four Horsemen","Dutton, Paul","Barreto-Rivera, Rafael","Tostevin, Lola Lemire","Hindmarch, Gladys","Bull, Hank","Mutton, Paul","Niechoda, Irene","Coleman, Victor","McCaffery, Steve","Gilbert, Gerry","Watts, Charles","Miki, Roy","Tallman, Warren","Nichol, Ellie","Nichol, bp (Barrie Phillip)"],"creator_names_search":["Lee, Dennis","Blaser, Robin","Alexander, Charles","Bridwell, Gene","Bowering, George","Phillips, David","The Four Horsemen","Dutton, Paul","Barreto-Rivera, Rafael","Tostevin, Lola Lemire","Hindmarch, Gladys","Bull, Hank","Mutton, Paul","Niechoda, Irene","Coleman, Victor","McCaffery, Steve","Gilbert, Gerry","Watts, Charles","Miki, Roy","Tallman, Warren","Nichol, Ellie","Nichol, bp (Barrie Phillip)"],"creators":["[{\"url\":\"http://viaf.org/viaf/150749702\",\"name\":\"Lee, Dennis\",\"dates\":\"1939-\",\"notes\":\"\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Reader\"]},{\"url\":\"http://viaf.org/viaf/17240199\",\"name\":\"Blaser, Robin\",\"dates\":\"1925-2009\",\"notes\":\"\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Reader\"]},{\"url\":\"http://viaf.org/viaf/67941062\",\"name\":\"Alexander, Charles \",\"dates\":\" 1954-\",\"notes\":\"\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Reader\"]},{\"url\":\"\",\"name\":\"Bridwell, Gene \",\"dates\":\"\",\"notes\":\"\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Reader\"]},{\"url\":\"http://viaf.org/viaf/34469976\",\"name\":\"Bowering, George\",\"dates\":\"1935- \",\"notes\":\"\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Reader\"]},{\"url\":\"\",\"name\":\"Phillips, David \",\"dates\":\"\",\"notes\":\"\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Reader\"]},{\"url\":\"http://viaf.org/viaf/128949455\",\"name\":\"The Four Horsemen\",\"dates\":\"\",\"notes\":\"The Four Horsemen consists of bpNichol, Rafael Barreto-Rivera, Paul Dutton and Steve McCaffery \",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Performer\"]},{\"url\":\" http://viaf.org/viaf/36999806\",\"name\":\"Dutton, Paul\",\"dates\":\"1943-\",\"notes\":\"\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Performer\"]},{\"url\":\"http://viaf.org/viaf/16154730\",\"name\":\" Barreto-Rivera, Rafael\",\"dates\":\"1944-\",\"notes\":\"\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Performer\"]},{\"url\":\"http://viaf.org/viaf/8771515\",\"name\":\"Tostevin, Lola Lemire\",\"dates\":\"1937-\",\"notes\":\"\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Reader\"]},{\"url\":\" http://viaf.org/viaf/38164256\",\"name\":\"Hindmarch, Gladys\",\"dates\":\"1940-\",\"notes\":\"\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Reader\"]},{\"url\":\"http://viaf.org/viaf/205149294089180520706\",\"name\":\"Bull, Hank\",\"dates\":\"1949-\",\"notes\":\"Music \",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Performer\"]},{\"url\":\"http://viaf.org/viaf/105181366\",\"name\":\"Mutton, Paul\",\"dates\":\"\",\"notes\":\"He's also the commentary.\\nWe are not sure about the viaf link\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Reader\"]},{\"url\":\"http://viaf.org/viaf/43517276\",\"name\":\"Niechoda, Irene\",\"dates\":\"\",\"notes\":\"She seems to be the editor of the Martyrology 9 book, and she shares some of her thoughts and experience with the editing process \",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Speaker\"]},{\"url\":\"http://viaf.org/viaf/38160442\",\"name\":\"Coleman, Victor\",\"dates\":\"1944-\",\"notes\":\"\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Speaker\"]},{\"url\":\"http://viaf.org/viaf/38243\",\"name\":\"McCaffery, Steve\",\"dates\":\"1947-\",\"notes\":\"\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Performer\",\"Speaker\"]},{\"url\":\" http://viaf.org/viaf/13554305\",\"name\":\"Gilbert, Gerry \",\"dates\":\"1936-2009\",\"notes\":\"Gerry Gilbert helped with the taping of the BP two-hour documentary for radiofreerainforest\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[]},{\"url\":\"\",\"name\":\"Watts, Charles\",\"dates\":\"\",\"notes\":\"We are not sure if Watts reads;
