Slought sound files of a 1963 Poetry conference,
“Poetry conferences at Vancouver (1963) and Berkeley (1965) were significant events that brought together and introduced a range of poets from diverse locations and temperaments. Warren Tallman was the man behind the conference in Vancouver, an event Robert Creeley described as ‘landmark’ in that it brought ‘together for the first time, a decisive company of then disregarded poets such as:
Denise Levertov,
Charles Olson,
Allen Ginsberg,
Robert Duncan,
Margaret Avison,
Philip Whalen
and myself,
together with as yet unrecognized younger poets of that time, Michael Palmer, Clark Coolidge and many more.'”
— Steve Clay & Rodney Phillips, 1998
