From “The Spell of the Yukon”

“There‘s a land - oh, it beckons and beckons,
And I want to go back - and I will.”

This is a poem about Alaska, once known as Seward‘s Folly.

#photoadaynov16 There was a time when no Canadian kid made it through school without learning a verse or two of The Cremation of Sam McGee. My father's favorite poet, and one of mine too. #chillyreads @RealLifeReading

Kirstin I used to live in Yukon and went to the Robert Service cabin! Love all his poetry. And if you can find Ted Harrison's illustrated books of his poems, they're awesome! 😊 7y
