Page "Robert Sward" Paragraph 0

Robert Sward ( born 1933 ) is an American and Canadian poet and novelist.

Jack Foley, in his Introduction to Sward's Collected Poems, 1957-2004 ( Black Moss Press, 2004 ) calls him, " in truth, a citizen, at heart, of both countries.

At once a Canadian and American poet, one with a foot in both worlds, Sward also inhabits an enormous in-between.

" Or, as Rainer Maria Rilke puts it, " Every artist is born in an alien country ; he has a homeland nowhere but within his own borders.
