Joyce Kilmer may be more well known but Service is the classic poet for anyone with an interest in WWI, Alaska or the Yukon. Most have heard his "Cremation of Sam McGee" or other tales of the gold rush. His Yukon/Alaska poems are the things campfires are made of at youth summer camps. His insightful grasp of World War I is lesser known but equally as clear. Robert Service remains popular today in part due to his command of the language and themes that continue to interest modern readers, especially, but not exclusively, men. This particular compilation is a mix of the genre Service mastered. Robert Service remains in print and his early additions are easy to find . This edition is a must for the casual reader as well as the serious fan.
