In December 2011, CBC journalist David Gutnick visited Richard Sommer at home near Freligsburg. He interviewed Richard and recorded him reading poems from his recently released Cancer Songs. Shortly after Richard's death, when the documentary played on CBC Montreal's Cinq à Six, Vicki Tansey, Richard's wife and partner of more than 40 years, listened in studio and was interviewed by Jeanette Kelly.
