Title: Great Poetry!
Review: As anyone who has read my Amazon.com review of "The Poetry Of Robert Frost" knows, Robert Frost is my favorite poet. Robert Service comes in a close second. "The Collected Poems Of Robert Service", consisting of Service's poems up to 1940, reveals the breadth of his work. The "Bard Of The Yukon" is well represented in this collection, but this collection goes far beyond the Yukon. In addition to the Northern Nature poems for which Service is famous, this collection includes poems set in World War I which reveal the common humanity of soldiers and the inhumanity of war. Poems set in Europe between the wars provide an insight into that Bohemian world. Whatever the topic, the reader will be touched by the poems. Some will provide lines to remember and quote, others insights to contemplate, some just entertainment.Service's poetry is readily understandable, enjoyable and reveals much about human character.Pick up and read!
