  1. TISH

    TISH was a Canadian poetry newsletter founded by student-poets at the University of British Columbia in 1961. The publication was edited by a number of Vancouver poets until 1969. The newsletter's poetics were built on those of writers associated with North Carolina's Black Mountain College experiment. Contributing writers included George Bowering, Fred Wah, Frank Davey, Daphne Marlatt, David Cull, Carol Bolt, Dan McLeod, Robert Hogg, Jamie Reid, and Lionel Kearns. Influenced by the poetry theorist Warren Tallman, the Tish Group also drew inspiration from the Seed Catalogue and Robert Creeley, Robert Duncan, Charles Olson and Jack Spicer. TISH launched a number of other publications including the alternative newspaper The Georgia Straight, edited by McLeod; the poetry newsletter SUM (1963–65), edited by Wah; the magazine of the long poem Imago (1964–74), edited by Bowering; the journal of writing and theory Open Letter (1965–2013), edited by Davey; the prose journal Periodics (1977–81), edited by Marlatt and Paul de Barros; Motion: A Prose Newsletter, edited by David Cull and Robert Hogg (1962), the TISHBooks imprint, and the online journal Swift Current (1984–1990), edited by Davey and Wah, who described it as the world's first e-magazine. In 2001, George Fetherling wrote in The Georgia Straight that "the journal [TISH] started by George Bowering, Frank Davey, David Dawson, Jamie Reid and Fred Wah is probably the most influential literary magazine ever produced in Canada, of greater significance than even Preview or First Statement, the two that brought poetic modernism to the country in the 1940s."

Examples of TISH in a Sentence

  1. Rita Glavin:

    The timing of this charge, on the eve of Tish James ' announcing Tish James ' run for Governor, is highly suspect and should give all of us pause that the heavy hand of politics is behind this decision, we expect clear-headed people will make better decisions going forward, but should this case move forward we are prepared to vigorously defend the Governor and challenge every aspect of the specious, inconsistent and uncorroborated allegations made against him.

  2. Rich Azzopardi:

    In August Craig Apple publicly credited Tish James ’ report as evidence to pronounce the Governor guilty of an allegation he had not yet investigated, now, as Tish James ' prepares to announce Tish James ' Gubernatorial run, Tish James ' returned the favor, using Sherif Apple's conveniently timed move to validate Tish James ' sham report — here politics is validating politics, what's missing is facts and the law.

  3. Rich Azzopardi:
