The Work and Life of Robert Sund
Robert Sund (1929-2001) was an award-winning poet, painter, musician, calligrapher and an eloquent spokesman for his native Northwest landscape, a place he called the Ish River Country.
He intended to be a doctor until the joy of making poetry overtook him. Robert lived simply, in what fellow poet Tim McNulty describes as “a celebration of attentiveness.” His book Ish River won the Washington State Governor’s Award for best new book of poetry.
Archival footage, interviews with colleagues and friends, and visual poems examine the unique life and work of this much loved Northwest luminary.
For this is the hall of light
and only the
dancer and the pure of heart
find their way here.
– Robert Sund
