Warren Tallman (17 November 1921 – 1 July 1994) was an American-born poetry professor who influenced the Vancouver Tish poets.
In 1956, Tallman and his wife accepted teaching jobs in the English department at the University of British Columbia, 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, Robert Creeley, and Philip Whalen.
Tallman was sometimes criticized for turning the Vancouver poetry circle into a California branch plant.
Among the Canadian poets he is said to have influenced are George Bowering, Lionel Kearns, Frank Davey, Jamie Reid, Fred Wah, bill bissett, Stan Persky and Howard White.
