Biographical Note
Robert Sund (1929-2001) grew up on a small farm in Washington's Chehalis Valley and studied with poet Theodore Roethke at the University of Washington. His early experiences of farm life, logging camps, fishing in Southeast Alaska, and working the wheat harvest in eastern Washington, together with his love of colloquial language, served to ground his language deeply in place and community. He spent his life living in and writing about the Pacific Northwest. Over decades, he became a much-loved figure in the arts community of the Northwest, locally renowned as a poet, painter, calligrapher, translator, teacher, musician, and inspired reader of his poetry. He is the author of Poems from Ish River Country: Collected Poems and Translations, Shoemaker & Hoard, 2004; Taos Mountain, Poet's House Press, 2007; and Notes from Disappearing Lake: The River journals of Robert Sund, Pleasure Boat Studio, 2012. A documentary, In the Hall of Light: The Work and Life of Robert Sund, was released by the Robert Sund Poet's House Trust in 2010.
