This copy of The Vancouver Report by Carol Berge is my copy which I scanned. The content is Carol Berge’s and certainly doesn’t represent my involvement and reaction to the amazing pantheon of great American and Canadian poets who were the active make up of this “festival.” It was definitely a Feast of Poetry, a Festival of major potency that changed more than a few lives and broadened everyone’s scope of what’s possible in the invasive world of poetry.

“Carol Bergé’s The Vancouver Report with hand-drawn stencil cover, published by the Fuck You Press on rose-colored Granitex paper, February 1964. Sanders commissioned Carol Bergé to write about the seminal 1963 Vancouver Poetry Conference. Her account was published as The Vancouver Report in February 1964. Ed would later reflect upon the publication saying that he “thought it was a well-written sixteen pages on a famous literary conference, especially fair to Charles Olson, the ‘father’ of the various movements on hand, and to Allen Ginsberg, fresh from his vision of a new direction. She was a tad harsh on Robert Duncan, I thought, but all in all an interesting account.” statement from The Ed Sanders Archive.
