Read in January, 1994
All kinds of poetry from the bar room ballads of the Yukon to the Bohemian quatrians of Paris. Humorous as well as meloncholy, fanciful and brutally honest. All in one collection spanning 3 decades. Includes "Rhymes of a Red Cross Man" the best selling non-ficton work in 1916.

Alaskana... a must read for people interested in Alaska and the Yukon.
"The Cremation of Sam McGee" is especially delightful, even if poetry isn't your thing (as it isn't really mine).
"Now Sam McGee was from Tennessee where the cotton blooms and blows..."

Five Stars! A magnificant collection of poetry covering Service's days in the frozen Yukon, as a Red Cross ambulance driver in WWI, and his days in Paris. Even if you think don't like poetry, you'll enjoy this!

Okay, so I haven't read every single poem in this book, but I have read many of them and I do love his style and his sense of humor. When you read some of these poems you've just got to smile.

I really love the poetry of Bob Service. The "frontier" stuff isn't my bag, but his writing about the First World War is heart stoppingly beautiful and sad. Amazing.
