註釋"During the 1980s, [Robert] Zend participated in a remarkable collaboration with two Canadian poets who were also fellow immigrants: Robert Sward, an American poet from Chicago who lived in Canada from 1969 to 1985, and Robert Priest, a British poet who moved to Canada. Picking up on their admiration for one another's poetry and the fact of their identical first names, they began performing together in poetry reading tours, calling themselves "The Three Roberts." They also published a series of poetry anthologies of their work in themed collections: Premiere Performance, On Love, and On Childhood ... Each of the Roberts has a recognizable voice: Sward often writes from a personal and familial perspective steeped in his Jewish heritage; Priest's poetry exhibits a zany sense of humour and the influence of popular British music such as the Beatles; and Zend explores the personal and fantastical with a cosmic vision ... Although their collaboration was cut short by Zend's untimely death in 1985, while they were together they formed a vibrant part of the Canadian poetry scene. And the sympathetic vibrations among the three during their performances and in their three anthologies is testament to their creative rapport and close friendship"--Robert Zend website, viewed September 19, 2022.
