The Robert Sund Poet’s House
is Robert Sund’s life long vision of creating a special place where
Poetry can be studied and honored. His idea included a house to be built
of simple design, modeled on the water tower structure at his Grandfather’s
farm near Elma, Washington. Also to be included are a pottery shed and
Calligraphy studio, accompanied by a garden.
This vision embodies his passion for a simple life filled with beauty
and meaningful objects. The Robert Sund Poet’s House will include a library and archive
of manuscripts, and may accomodate a resident poet to conduct study groups
or other educational activities. Robert wanted this facility to be connected
to the community and to encourage young people’s interest in the
reflective arts.
Robert’s last will and testament created an 11 member board to oversee
the publishing of his work and development of the Robert Sund Poet’s
House Project. There is hope a piece of land will be donated in the local
community on which to build. In the meantime, our primary agenda is to
compile and print all of Robert’s previously published work. The
Robert Sund Poet’s House Press
is also engaged in editing and printing several groups of unpublished
work, notably the Shi Shi and Taos Mountain manuscripts.
The Robert Sund Poet’s House is a membership organization
with a 501(c)3 tax status. Donations are tax exempt
and support the work of the Robert Sund Poet’s House. Thanks
to those of you who have already shown your generosity.
