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 reading his groundwork for the preface he wrote for Adeena Karasick's poems, 1989 "],"item_title_source":["J-card and Recording"],"item_language":["English"],"item_production_context":["Documentary recording"],"item_identifiers":["[]"],"rights":["Copyright Not Evaluated (CNE)"],"creator_names":["Karasick, Adeena","Tallman, Warren"],"creator_names_search":["Karasick, Adeena","Tallman, Warren"],"creators":["[{\"url\":\"http://viaf.org/viaf/76188856\",\"name\":\"Karasick, Adeena\",\"dates\":\"1965-\",\"notes\":\"Warren Tallman mentions, early on the first side, that he was going to read the preface that he was writing for the Adeena's poem.\\n\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Author\"]},{\"url\":\"http://viaf.org/viaf/11397708\",\"name\":\"Tallman, Warren\",\"dates\":\"1921-1994\",\"notes\":\"\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Speaker\",\"Reader\",\"Recordist\"]}]"],"contributors":["[]"],"Performance_Date":[1989],"material_description":["[{\"side\":\"\",\"image\":\"../Uploads/10346/Warren Tallman Fonds_MsC 26.42_55.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\":\"MSC26-55-SideA.mp3\",\"channel_field\":\"Stereo\",\"sample_rate\":\"44.1 kHz\",\"duration\":\"T00:47:24\",\"precision\":\"\",\"size\":\"52.3 MB\",\"bitrate\":\"32 bit\",\"encoding\":\"WAV for master files and .MP3 for online files\",\"contents\":\"\",\"notes\":\"\",\"title\":\"\",\"credit\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"content_type\":\"\",\"featured\":\"\",\"public_access_url\":\"\"},{\"file_url\":\"\",\"file_path\":\"\",\"filename\":\"MSC26-55-SideB.mp3\",\"channel_field\":\"Stereo\",\"sample_rate\":\"44.1 kHz\",\"duration\":\"T01:34:52\",\"precision\":\"\",\"size\":\"104 MB\",\"bitrate\":\"32 bit\",\"encoding\":\"WAV for master files and .MP3 for online files\",\"contents\":\"\",\"notes\":\"\",\"title\":\"\",\"credit\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"content_type\":\"\",\"featured\":\"\",\"public_access_url\":\"\"}]"],"Dates":["[{\"date\":\"1989\",\"type\":\"Performance Date\",\"notes\":\"Based on the date Warren Tallman mentions at the beginning of the first side, the year in which Warren Tallman is reading this preface must be 1989\",\"source\":\"J-card\"}]"],"Location":["[]"],"City":["Other"],"Note":["[{\"note\":\"Side one and two are duplicates; they have the exact same content.\\n\\nThis preface may have been intended for Karasick's first publication, The Empress Has No Closure, published by Talonbooks in 1992.\",\"type\":\"General\"}]"],"Related_works":["[]"],"_version_":1853670556462743554,"timestamp":"2026-01-07T15:00:00.772Z","score":2.5059476}]
