Robert Kendall is a digital poet. Canadian-born, he now lives in the United States. He has a master's degree in Musicology and has taught electronic poetry for the New School University's online course.

Kendall refers to these two early poems as "SoftPoems", in which words and phrases are animated to match movement with meaning.

Kendall is on the board of directors for the Electronic Literature Organization.
