( ) This was my father's book. He had it with him while serving in the U.S. Navy during the Korean War. My introduction to poetry consisted of The Cremation of Sam McGee, The Shooting of Dan McGrew, Lipstick Liz, and Bessie's Boil. This was vigorous, masculine poetry and my father embraced it wholeheartedly. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Robert Service dreamed of a life of adventure and freedom to live and write as he wanted, surrounded by nature and the beauty of the world. Born in Lancashire, England, he developed an urge early on to travel abroad, and set his sights on the rough and tumble "wild west" of Canada. Part journalist and part storyteller, he ventured up and down the west coast of the United States and wrote romantic stories of cowboys, gold prospectors, and characters of the lush, wild backwoods. This collection of verse contains Service's famous poetry collections "Songs of a Sourdough", published in 1907 to wide success, "Ballads of a Cheechako", "Rhymes of a Rolling Stone", "Rhymes of a Red Cross Man", and "Ballads of a Bohemian". Service favored simple, rhythmic ballads that allowed the reader to get lost in the colorful descriptions and exciting tales of his imagination, which were inspired by his real world experiences.
