Poet Robert Bringhurst was born in 1946 and raised in the Canadian Rockies. He attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.), the University of Utah and Indiana University.

He authored several books, including Bergschrund (1975), Tzuhslem's Mountain (1982) and The Beauty of Weapons: Selected Poems (1983). He also served as co-editor of Visions: Contemporary Art in Canada (1983), the first work to document the various movements in Canadian art since World War II.
